Scan the Block · for investor

Underwrite the block, not the brochure.

The pro forma says what the seller hopes; the city's records say what has happened. Rents as reported to the Rent Board by tenancy start, eviction and buyout activity, the permit pipeline next door, and how long every parcel nearby has been held under its Prop 13 anchor — the facts a thesis is actually made of, none of them scored for you.

The questions it answers

The sections that earn their keep

What the block rents forReported rents split by when each tenancy began — the spread between anchored and market, which is the whole game.
Tenancy changesBuyouts with amounts, and petitions — what repositioning around here has actually cost.
What is coming nearbyThe approved pipeline within your radius, in net units, before it is cranes.
What changed hands nearbyWhich parcels traded and when, from the roll — with the reassessment labeled for what it is.
Business churnOpenings against closings on the commercial strips your rent roll depends on.
The rent-roll checkPaste the offering memo's rents and each is placed against the block's reported distribution — the seller's fiction, visible in one glance.

Investing and small developmentWhat is allowed on the parcel, what is approved next to it, and the three obligations that change an underwrite after close.Lending against a San Francisco buildingThe obligations that transfer with a parcel, the ones with a deadline attached, and why San Francisco publishes no lien, default or foreclosure record at all — which changes what due diligence has to cover.Getting a project through in San FranciscoWhat the parcel allows, what is already approved on the block, and the sequence of public filings a project leaves behind — read as a schedule rather than as a list.What San Francisco files every dayThe kinds of filing San Francisco publishes against its buildings and storefronts, how far behind each one runs, and why a list built on the filing date misses most of what was filed.
