There are excellent tenants out there, but in order to attract them a landlord needs to frequently consider updating their San Francisco property.   Making some kind of improvement to the unit every time it becomes vacant is a good strategy if you can't do a complete rehab the first time a unit vacates.  San Francisco is a great location for investing in multifamily residential real estate but a lot of it is old and in need of updating.  You can add value to your property if you fix it up between tenants and rent it for a much higher rent.

Demand for apartments in San Francisco is high but the most desirable tenants can be picky about what they rent.  Tenants are often young, educated and well paid and they want a nice place to live.  Even those who want to live in some of our edgy areas want nice amenities inside their apartment.

As an owner your end goal is to find the best tenant who will pay the highest rent and stay in your unit for a few years before moving on. When you have a vacant unit you can again raise the rent to market rent.  It is the perfect time to make any necessary improvements or upgrades to your property.
