The first thing we did was put a 7' wrought iron gate around the property.

When you go to sell the Property, in 93307, there are many neighborhoods that have wrought iron fencing that does add some value to SOME potential Buyers. 

Minus that large quake in 19.

With full coverage for flood, fire, quake, etc we are looking at about $60k premium per year because of the age and the area it is in, which completely throws off our numbers.  

We had a big earth quake in 64, and before that it's common to find old wiring... so a lot of investors stay away from that old of houses unless it's a tear-down.  

But now you have tech so well entrenched.. you have Chinese capital by the billions that has paid cash for prime BA real estate along with many other nationalities.. any area can suffer a correction.. but unless there is a Major Earth quake or some other outside influence . 

Since the garage door is THE most prominent feature on the front elevation, check out this style, that would perfectly match the windows:http://www.clopaydoor.com/avanteWith a similarly architecturally appropriate front door, and proper column in place of the wrought iron, without building ANYthing like a portico, you'll completely transform the front elevation, and bring the house right into this century.

@Austin Mudd   started in 1975... in Northern CA.So it was rough then end of Viet nam war we were in a recession.. but I sold land and it was somewhat insulated.Carter years and massive run up in interest rates crippled the RE markets.then a regional even Earth quake and War in 1989 put N.

I know where I was I was watching the world series between Oakland and SF in my office in San Mateo when all of a sudden my puter monitor flew off my desk and we had a very big shake.. couple that with the war and by 1990 many parts of the bay area even such hallowed ground as SF  Los Altos hills etc etc saw price drops in the 30 to 50% range.. and it stayed flat like that until about 97 to 98 then made new highs in 2000 prior to the dot com bubble .... so it was about 10 years to recoup... equities and stabilize a region.. so your thought process is not that wild of thinking... and its not that is a low probability its a certainty that there will be a quake in socal and SF Bay area no doubt about that.. just don't know when.. they seem to be spaced out in N cal about 80 years.. so looking at 2060 is for the next big loma Prieta type event..

My sister's place had straps but they weren't tight to the wall, when the big quake hit the water tank ripped the strapping out of the wall and smashed a piece of ducting that came right off the furnace next to it.
