Second apartment seemed like the best discount. You negotiated it down from $3,500 to $3,200 because it had been sitting on the market AND got two months free rent on top of that. That's an additional $533 per month. That bring the monthly rental price down to $2667 almost a THOUSAND dollars less than the original asking price. Split between the two of you that's $1,333 per person. That's a great deal for SF. The apartment also seem really spacious with good light, good views and a large kitchen space.
plus the location. literally right next to J-town and pretty safe
Not gonna lie; I'm a little jealous of what you can afford. Still, I am very thankful for what I have. I live in an SRO which is just a 69ft² room with a sink. It's about the size of a parking space, but honestly, I like being out in the city. So all I really need is a place to sleep. Shared: kitchen, restroom, shower. It sounds daunting, but I've had little to no problems. Plus, I seldom cook. My building is small, and my neighbors are clean and quiet. For laundry, I walk a few blocks to a clean/updated laundromat. In fact, everything I need (laundromat, grocery, pharmacy, post office, eateries, etc) is within a 7-minute walk from home (including my job). It's no fancy-living like the apartments in this video, but considering that I live in scenic/historic downtown SF and pay less than 600/month (all bills incl.), I have to say I am very thankful and blessed... and I am going to enjoy it for however long it lasts.
I know you guys will make the right choice for you. Happy Hunting! 🌁😌❤️
I totally agree with her initial statement about opportunities in SF. It is expensive to live here but when you take into consideration the opportunities and such it's worth it. Most people don't stay here for too long but it's a good stop to make when setting up your resume and career plan.
Great video! Would love to see more apartment tour videos on this channel!
Thanks for this video! Just got an offer for a role in SF and the housing situation is a big stresser. This was very informative
I liked the second apartment the best. With the huge island gives you lots of space for cooking.
That third kitchen was so cramped
Agree, the second apartment was on the top of my list!
Mandy Squad! Remember CA also has rent control type protections (AB 1482). I liked the kitchen in #2, it's gas which is huge if you are going to film cooking videos. So much harder to control temps on a electric stove top.
I would love to see a high rise edition! I am currently looking for an apartment in the $3k price range. Thanks for making the video!
Yes on the high-rises w/o rent control...
The rent controlled high rise is my pick. Love the view! I am also hunting my new rental apt in bay area. It is super hard to find hard surfacing floor not on the 1st floor in peninsula or palo alto, but I am not giving up yet.
Great video! I like the Marina apt the best.
Thank you for your great advice and lots of good information.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Didn't realize you had a channel (have only seen Sebby's), love how you guys talk similarly :)
This was great!! I’m so inspired to show my rent journey in San Francisco 🤗
Do it! :)
Love this! Super detailed video. Would love to move to the Bay Area
Love the one with the island with washer and dryer.
very informative inside information! I lived in san francisco for over 20 years and was never ever able to find a rent controlled apartment with a washer and dryer and 2 bedrooms; the mass exodus has begun....bargain hard dear lady.....you seem like a very responsible tenant and there is a landlord somewhere that will work with you and get you a better price. if you can wait till december, when no one wants to move you score better. good luck.
I lived in San Francisco for 8 years during college...my last few years was in a 1-bedroom apartment near the University for about $1,475 a month.
I like apartment #2 the best. I used to live on the top floor of an apartment building and carrying bags of groceries up was a pain.
Hello there! We're also living in SF and have been looking for apartments for the past few weeks! The rent did drop crazy!!! Marina and Pac Heights are both lovely neighborhood! We live around Hayes and go to Japantown all the time! Honestly love it so much! Oh and hello there we just sub-ed =)
Thanks for watching! :) Good luck on the apartment hunt.
Would love to see that luxury edition without fixed rent.
Awww apartment hunting in San Francisco, something I do not miss.
Lol, I never had a "real" move with furniture before this year. Moving sucks. I won't miss it either.
There's a lot of new condos in the Richmond District, would be nice to see how those look inside.
When you Asian and doing cooking videos, you gotta have the exhaust hoods in the kitchen, those filter types mounted underneath the microwave are a big no-no
The prices are going to continue to drop, the reasons to live in the city right now are far and between
Once you have inside laundry, you can not go back. I hope you get the second one if it is for both of you.
As a landlord, I’m curious what are your must-haves in the kitchen? Stainless steel appliances over white? Granite or quartz countertop? Backsplash?
My ideal kitchen has:
1. Stainless steel appliances. In my opinion, white makes the kitchen look cheap. My current studio has white appliances.
2. Decent size dish washer and refrigerator.
3. Stove w/ range hood.
4. Enough counter space to fit a microwave, coffee machine, dish rack, and use a cutting board.
5. Either granite or quartz works, as long as the color/pattern looks nice.
6. Large enough sink to easily wash a 8 quart stock pot without splashing every where.
7. Island or bar extension for easy filming (UA-camr problems).
There are two other high rises that I know of that are rent control. Fox plaza and The gateway apartments. You should check them out.
The gateway apt look great :D thanks for the tip. We're planning to ve when they'll open the borders again....
aggr they don't allow pets :/
@@domi1093 ah their yelp reviews aren't great either. : /
I’ll stick to the East Bay.
I liked the second, Pacific Heights apartment. The other apartments don’t come close
pacific heights will forever be the dream
also, why rent in pacific heights when u can save money to buy the place in 5+ years?
Do you think I could get a 1b/1b apartment for $2300 in SF? I want modern appliances but I am not picky on how much space I have.
Might be smaller, but it's possible. Check out www.rentsfnow.com/
Japantown is not in Pac heights
Sebby sent me 🤣
There is something that really intrigues me you are not allowed to have a dishwasher or a washing machine if it is not already in the apartment when you rent it ? You don't have stores that sell these machines to individuals ?
I think you can get permission to do it. From my understanding, the landlord would keep what you install though.
most ppl in their 20s-30s dont have as much "requirements/necessities" as those in their 40s/50s who have families. obviously, nice to live in family-friendly areas, but diff ages have different hourly breakdowns between work/leisure
Yep! I think kids in particular definitely change the equation. With WFH, having extra rooms would be critical with kids :)
Wait...was that Ask Sebby?! 🤯
Yes :)
4k Rent..................JEEEEEEESUS CHRIST those are Mc. Mansion mortgage payments here in florida
Gotta love San Francisco rent: In 2006, I had an apt in North Beach on Grant for $2300, which was 1 bedroom 700 sf, 1 parking space, and on the third floor with a city skyline view.
At the same time, I shared a 3 bed 2 bath with 3 parking spaces, shared gym, rooftop recreation area, and 1,800 sf in Downtown Los Angeles for only $2,100 amongst all 3 roommates.
Raphael Williams but you are living in FloriDUH! Horrible weather alligators and Trump voters. Humidity. I’d never live there. Plus Nancy Pelosi is our Congresswoman. You know. Speaker of the House.
This is with a huge discount too. Apartments in SF used to be way more expensive pre-COVID.
With those rent prices I'd move to Texas or buy a boat.
I think it depends on age + your professional goals. i.e., if you're in tech, there's an argument to grab the bag of money, save aggressively, and then retire early (FIRE).

Who would like to live in San Francisco especially at that insane price....

Very few places you can make $200,000 out of school ==> $500,000 w/ 5 years of experience.
It also makes it easier to angel invest ($200,000+ income req. is HARD for lower CoL cities) ==> easier to start a company w/ competitive rounds (i.e., $8 million seed valuation).
When u live in SF for many years, you'll grow jaded of the city. But you'll come to appreciate all the little things the city has to offer, especially after each hard week at work. Honestly, living in SF is worth every penny it takes to make it happen.
Yes!! Living in East or South Bay and commuting over is such a better idea.
Most apartments are cheaper now but this was a really great video.
Yup! I'm expecting prices to continue dropping until Summer 2021.
Mandy Roams wow I didn’t think they would keep dropping until then me and my girlfriend have been looking and waiting but I guess we can wait a bit longer. Thank you so much for this video been looking on Craigslist but talking prices down and everything thank you so much great editing as well good luck with the home search
Don't do it and move to Sacramento.
Rent control is so harmful to property owners, it's really sad we think that's okay.
