Welcome to Owner Insights

Owner Insights is where The Housing Guild writes directly to Bay Area rental owners. We have managed San Francisco and Peninsula property since 1977, and this is where we share what we have learned.

What we will write about

Practical, owner-side guidance: the SF Rent Ordinance and AB 1482 in plain English, how the California eviction process actually works, what property managers charge and how to tell if it is worth it, and how to manage a Bay Area rental from out of the area.

Who it is for

Owners of single-family rentals, condos, small multi-unit buildings, apartment communities, and commercial or mixed-use property — anyone who wants their investment managed well and kept compliant.
