We created SIFF specifically to provide the expertise necessary to help investor minimize risk and optimize opportunity. SIFF keeps an eye out on the markets where we recomment investment. SIFF had identified and tracked Western markets that have not gone through the boom (and the subsequent bust) of a "hot market." Instead, we focus on areas with demographics that promise steady, predictable growth.

The national real estate market has been in turmoil, and the San Francisco area has not been immune.  Foreclosures are up, both borrowers and lending institutions are feeling the pain.  Fear has led to over-reaction, which is making things worse.  Despite the negative news, it is still difficult, if not impossible, to purchase investment quality real estate in the Bay Area that provides a reasonable cash flow for the middle-income investor.

Although economic experts say we are in a recession, the reality is that problems are occurring only in certain regions of the country and within certain demographics of the population.  The people who have been hit hardest by the real estate crash are investors who did not understand the risks of high-leveraged creative loans - and who believed that the boom would never end.  They lacked the capital to manage the investments once the market slowed, and then dropped.

 SIFF works with well-qualified investors who are investing for the long term.  Because we have developed strong relationships with the real estate community in our chosen markets, and have brought in qualified and motivated buyers, we have a strong negotiating position.  With continued low interest rates and strong regional inventories of investment-quality residential real estate, we see the potential for investing today.  And, because we are with our clients for the long haul, we also oversee property management and recommend adjustments to rents as market conditions change.  As rents increase, investor risk goes down.

SIFF is about helping our clients get cash flow today accompanied with an educated view to the probability of steadily increasing real estate value.  The overall result is a strategy that is designed to provide an excellent return on investment while minimizing risk.
