We Don’t Believe in One-Size-Fits-All Rentals
Some buildings should stay long-term. Others work better with shared housing or mid-term units. We run each asset the way it makes the most sense — legally, financially, and operationally.

SRO & Coliving
SROs and coliving units both deliver outsized returns in dense, high-barrier markets like San Francisco.
SROs trade far below replacement cost and offer the highest unit count per square foot.
Coliving captures a growing demand from residents priced out of traditional rentals — offering flexibility, community, and affordability.
Despite their potential, these formats often scare off traditional investors due to management complexity and stigma. That’s where we excel.
Why our approach is different:
Most operators either avoid SROs or misapply coliving. We do the opposite — we’ve built repeatable systems to run them well. From stabilizing under-occupied buildings to furnishing and servicing shared units, we turn high-friction assets into high-performing properties.
We don’t force a model. We evaluate each property and apply the best fit — sometimes that’s structured coliving, sometimes it's optimizing an SRO for stabilized occupancy.
Why our approach is different:
01
Active leasing and rigorous tenant screening
02
On-site or hybrid staffing models for responsive service
03
Clear tenant communication and digital maintenance workflows
04
Purposeful design balancing privacy and community
05
Flexible lease terms and turnkey furnishing
06
Stake partnership offering rent cashback, credit reporting,
and early pay access
07
Occupancy consistently above 80%, where others
struggle to hit 50%
08
Stake partnership offering rent cashback, credit reporting, and
early pay access
09
Environmental and NOI upside via solar, heat pumps,
and water sensors
10
Higher rent per square foot and lower per-unit acquisition basis
Mid-term
Mid-term leases (30–120 days) hit the sweet spot between nightly volatility and long-term rent caps. Mid-term leases (30–120 days) hit the sweet spot between nightly volatility and long-term rent caps. They’re ideal for travel nurses, contract workers, remote teams, and relocating renters.
Why our approach is different:
We know how to position these units, license them correctly, and fill them with serious tenants — not party guests. We’ve built systems that automate booking and communication without losing control.
Why our approach is different:
01
Local platform partnerships for tenant acquisition
02
Turnover-ready unit design and furnishing
03
Smart pricing strategies based on neighborhood comps
04
Targeted to units not under rent control (when applicable)
Conventional
The foundation of multifamily. Stability, predictable income, and low turnover when done right. In San Francisco, long-term leases also come with rent control — which creates upside for owners who operate with patience and skill.
Why our approach is different:
We don’t treat long-term leases as passive. We actively manage legal filings, allowable increases, capital pass-throughs, and tenant turnover opportunities — all within the city’s rules.
How we do it better:
File for every permitted rent increase
Use buyouts, pass-throughs, and renovations legally
Respect tenants while improving building economics
Understand timelines, rules, and tenant rights inside and out
