INVESTOR OPPORTUNITY JUST BLOCKS FROM SAN FRANCISCO! Priced for action, this Daly City Spanish Revival is ready for an investor, contractor, or visionary buyer. The previous owner began updates and customizations on the upper level, but the property remains a work in progress and will require substantial additional renovation. The home currently presents with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a galley-style kitchen upstairs, a generous garage, multiple storage rooms, and a private backyard. With the right improvements, the existing footprint and lower level may offer potential for future expansion or ADU use, subject to buyer investigation and City approval. The possibilities are many! The location is a major part of the appeal. Set near Mission Street and just blocks from the San Francisco line, the property offers convenient access to San Francisco, the Peninsula, BART, Muni, SamTrans, I-280 and US-101, with San Francisco State University, City College of San Francisco and major Bay Area employment centers within easy reach. Whether this is your first renovation project or another addition to an established portfolio, this property offers the potential for meaningful value creation in a highly connected location. Due to its current condition, the property is not conventionally financeable and is best suited for cash, hard money, or a potential cash-to-primary loan via a subject-to/wraparound structure involving existing financing. Property is sold as-is, where-is.
