437-439 Vermont Street

Description:

Situated in the desirable Potrero Hill neighborhood, 437–439 Vermont Street presents a rare “dual-track” investment opportunity. While currently operated as a high-performing 3-unit multifamily asset, the substantial apartment and property upgrades position it perfectly for a Tenancy-In-Common (TIC) conversion. This allows an incoming investor to capture traditional rental yield in the short term while maintaining a high-margin exit by selling the units individually. Additionally, one unit is currently vacant, offering an immediate owner-user opportunity while still benefiting from income generated by the remaining units.
Constructed in 1927, the approximately 6,413 square foot building sits on a 2,495 square foot lot and features a diverse unit mix of one (1) studio, one (1) two-bedroom/one-bathroom, and one (1) three-bedroom/two-bathroom residence. The offering is further enhanced by one (1) on-site parking space and one (1) storage unit, with the potential of converting the studio to a one-bedroom apartment by combining the storage area. The property showcases spacious floor plans filled with tremendous natural light, highlighted by hardwood flooring, classic architectural character, and modern charm. Kitchens are equipped with quartz countertops, flat-panel cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances, while bathrooms feature standing showers with quartz surrounds, cabinet vanity sinks, and modern fixtures. The building benefits from a concrete foundation, front stucco façade with wood rear, shared garden, in-unit and on-site laundry, a DKS entry system, and a recently replaced modified bitumen roof completed in 2023.

With a current annual gross income of $128,056 and notable in-place rents below market, the property offers a compelling 33% upside through continued rent growth and operational optimization. Its prime location provides residents with immediate access to one of the nation’s best public transit systems, including proximity to BART, MUNI, and corporate tech shuttle lines, supporting long-term rental demand and investment stability.
