San Francisco Rent is notoriously expensive. My family of 3 decided it was a priority to live in Downtown SF even though we only had a salary of $65k. To do that, we had to get creative. I expanded our 400 sqft apartment by an additional 54SF with a sleeping loft and stairs that double as storage. I documented the build of this loft on YT, but wanted to break it down for you guys in written format here. I started the YouTube channel 6 weeks ago related to how my family earns, spends and invests our money. Our apartment costs about $51.6/sqft/year, this loft saved us $2786/year with the extra 54 square feet it added. Over 3 years that’s a $8356 savings on a $688 materials cost investment. That’s a 1200% ROI not taking into account the time it took to build, but I enjoy that and the emotional reward of knowing I built the thing I use every night.

It sustained 3 earthquakes and many (micro) dance parties.
