Investment highlights
Rare 38-unit sro portfolio
The spartan portfolio offers a rare opportunity to acquire 38 income-producing single-room occupancy (sro) units across four clustered properties in central san jose:
325 E Saint John St – 9 units
684 E Julian St – 8 units
1090 S 7th St – 10 units
22 S 10th St – 11 units
Each house features private bedrooms within a shared living setup, designed for students, service workers, and young professionals seeking affordable, centrally located housing. About 80% of current tenants are san jose state university students.
Exceptional value-add potential with strong rent upside
In-place rents average 30% below market, offering a clear path to higher cash flow. Stabilized gross rents can increase by:
Strategic rent adjustments on turnover
Modest unit and common area improvements
Implementing fees for currently uncharged amenities (parking, storage)
Undermonetized parking & storage income
All four properties offer parking, parking permits, and secure storage spaces, which are currently provided free of charge. This represents an unleveraged ancillary revenue stream. By implementing modest monthly fees, new ownership can immediately enhance noi with minimal expense or disruption.

Located in walkable neighborhoods near downtown san jose and san jose state university, each property is ideally positioned for stable longterm occupancy.
4 properties within a 1.5 mile radius of one another
All zoned for multifamily or commercial
Less than 1.0 miles from sjsu
Unique, scalable entry into the san jose market
The portfolio offers a rare opportunity to acquire scale at a discount to replacement cost and comps. Ideal for private operators, student housing buyers, or co-living platforms. Multiple properties allow for operational flexibility, while staying within a manageable asset size for efficient management.
Long-term security with proven sro demand
San jose is undergoing a once-in-a-generation urban transformation, with $10b+ in approved development including google’s massive downtown west project, major public transit expansion, and over 20m sf of new office and mixed-use construction in the pipeline. With over 1 million residents and 36,000+ students at san jose state university, demand for centrally located, affordable housing continues to outpace supply.
