My point is it’s safer to put $500k into 1 10 plex vs $500k into 1 studio in SF I would put 20-30% down and enjoy the mailbox $.  

I have old tiny (450sf) studios right down the street that stay 100% occupied with a wait.

I have toyed around with the idea of turning my studio in the heart of Media into an Airbnb.

@Fred SamsYours is a classic question that plagues the web audio and video community.

Furnace is less than 10 years old. 5 Apartments; 3 Studios and 2 1bd/1ba - All currently leased on 1-year leases that switch to month-to-month at end of year.  

In the audio version, Mark reads the book and laughs at his own jokes.  :-)

However, it occurred to me that the biggest expense that I incur currently is the monthly rent of my studio ($2200).

A 300 sf studio without AC barebone renting for $600, good.

My experience with AirDNA is that sometimes it's data heavy and can also have limited sample sets that can skew the results.The upfront investment can cost a bit (takes us about $4K to furnish a studio with IKEA), but the money has been really good for us (again though, we're Denver based.)

You'd be hard pressed to get a 0 bedroom, 1 bathroom studio condo in highly desirable areas at that price.
