My friend in S.F. has a sister living in "low income" housing. It is a 1-bedroom apt. in Marin for $1100.00/mo.

I don't know how she makes it living on next to nothing and forking all of that out.

As for you, I'd get an estimate on how much to fix everything from a contractor.

That house in Oakland that I mentioned was sold to a broker for less than 50K because it would not pass code to be sold.

It was a tremendous loss for my late Dad (who the house basically belonged to).
