1400 Mission St #1010
This is an income-restricted (BMR) resale. Its price is set by an income formula, not by the market, so the gap against normal comps is not equity you own — it is a restriction you inherit, with income limits to qualify and a formula price when you sell. Scoring it against market comps would flatter it enormously, so we don't score it at all.
💵What this unit actually costs per month
32% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $34,920 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $2,814.
Not FHA-approved. No 3.5%-down FHA financing on this unit, so the realistic floor is a 5%-down conventional loan ($21,254). Common for small associations and not a defect on its own, but it does remove FHA buyers from your resale pool.

This building's HOA fees
🚩 Rising fast · +6.1%/yrReconstructed from 28 units of recorded sales at 1400 Mission St — every recorded sale carries its HOA fee and date. No listing site shows this.
These dues climbed 27% in 4 years — about +6.1%/yr across 28 units of recorded sales, well above inflation. A rise this steep is a leading signal of a special assessment, a drained reserve fund, or an insurance shock. The listing never shows it; the building's documents are where the "why" lives.
