It's pretty common here at most price points. 

(To avoid tenant vs tenant or common area conflict.)

Hey all, my friend and I are interested in the process of duplex-to-TIC conversion in the SF/Bay Area, and are wondering if anyone here has had any experience either facilitating such a conversion, or has gone through...

This is a very common scenario: move out, rent it for under 3 years, and then sell it tax-free with full exemption (except for depreciation recapture). 

For non-vanilla non-ho-hum non-SFR properties where you need the appraisal report turned relatively fast, bids are sometimes starting at $1000 a pop, please take a number and get in line, or exit to your left if you would rather not transact (actually, consumer-driven bidding wars are not common, most common is 2 or 3 appraisers name a price/turntime combination, and you can either pick one, or not transact).If the listing agent does not sell a lot of homes, they may be unaware of this.

I also put together a cleaning schedule for each room to follow to keep the common areas nice for everyone.

Eric, so are you just looking for what type of data is commonly returned to me by someone who has note(s) to sell?

The following infographics and data is courtesy of the Austin Board of Realtors.April did see a rise in new listings which bodes well for buyers actively looking for a property in the market.

Use common language, no jargon.

If you want a good landlord attorney on file in the event issues arise, happy to send you the info of a friend in the city, who does great work in that department.
