6 units in Alamo Square: an update

Not too long ago we reported on some properties that were near and dear to our wallets, literally. True to our word, we report the good, the bad and the ugly. So we again, bring a sad story on what can happen in this market. The property is 869-879 Grove, a 6-unit building in the [...]
