Multi-Family Properties in Trouble

Most multifamily properties purchased in the Peninsula in the past few years probably aren’t cash flow positive.  Here are a few highlights of multifamily properties that are listing for below their last sale price now.

 127 N Fremont St, San Mateo, 94401 - $11,000 below last sale price

356 Ramona Ave, San Mateo, 94401 - $201k below last sale price 

150 N. Ellsworth, San Mateo, 94401 - $20k below last sale price

911 9th Ave, San Mateo,  94402 - $120k below last sale price

341 N Claremont, San Mateo, 94401 - $99k below last sale price - been on the market for over a year.

217 Vera Ave, Redwood City, 94061 - $209k below last price 

These aren’t exactly very good investments at the current price points.  Each has a capitalization rate of -2 to 4 percent since property tax is pretty high on some of them.  I think it will take a couple more years for investment properties to get attractive again on the peninsula.
