Seems like you have a ideal situation going on for a Medium Term Rental (MTR).

I have also really considered medium term rentals, however it seems that the market is somewhat saturated as many rentals have been dropping prices significantly when I look through Airbnb.

@Bud Gaffney  short for Medium term rental,  or mid-term rental. 

You can consider the medium term route as a possbility as well so you can still occupy it for a few weeks a year.  

In most of those cases, their broker took a high fee and the investor didn't end up with a great deal.Here are a couple of things that are a tipoff you are not working with a broker with your interests at heart (1) they want to pull your credit before having a conversation, or (2) they send you a long list of things you need to provide them before learning about you and your deal.The conversation should start with why you are interested in REI, then understanding your strategy to get there.

I felt like I needed to "graduate" and we spent some time looking at medium size apartment buildings. 

I don't know much about the "medium term" rental market in SF, but I would say that you may as well try it because rents will only be going up...
