Thanks to Burbed reader A.L. for this find!

First, let’s look a the history of this fine, affordable, property.

Wow, just look at the equity possibilities here. Here is $315k of instant equity just sitting around waiting for you to tap.

But what A.L. really wanted to point out was the fact that this place currently rents out for $2000 a month! Can you believe that? $2000 a month in East Palo Alto. Talk about an amazing revenue stream. I wonder who is paying that rate – what are your thoughts?

One of the most sought after courts in Palo Alto. Family oriented, social and friendly neighbors. Quiet, private and safe environment. Newly painted and refreshed home inside and out. Wonderful curb appeal, plenty of natural light, hard wood floors, flagstone front and back yard. Great expansion potential. Walking distance to down town and parks; easy access to 101 and Stanford. Got to see it!

Family-oriented, social and friendly neighbors?  Sure they’re social, if they all live in 770 sf homes; they don’t want to be cooped up indoors with the walls closing in.  But family-oriented?  If you’re living in a house that has less room than some Winnebagos, it’s not like any of your neighbors are offering to invite all the kids over for an indoor game of tag.

Face it, you want a DEAL, so here is the DEAL.  A tiny house on a tiny lot, or you can live on a busy street and next to the high speed rail.  If you expected an RBA bargain, you came to the wrong zip code.

Great Starter Home in Belmont Hills!!
Adorable starter home in Belmont hills featuring hardwood floors, an updated kitchen featuring granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, adorable living room with fireplace, and one bath. Home also features a large deck in front, and a large yard. This home is ideal for a first time home owner or someone looking to downsize. Don’t let this home pass you up, move right in!

Now frankly, this is actually a pretty nice house. But what caught my attention is that this is a great starter home.

Ah, classic Silicon Valley – where an $800k house is considered a starter home. But why shouldn’t it be? The minimum wage these days is nearly $200k! This is just 4x the salary!

With any luck, a starter home will be $1 million by EOY. Oh goodness I can’t wait!
