Yes, the building itself is certainly not worth a lot/if anything. It was
built by one of the founders of that specific church, some 4-7 decades ago.
One of the churchgoers' fathers I believe. But hey! with some creativity,
skill and hard work anything is possible, and building new dwelling(s)
doesn't necessarily have to be a 2 year project.
Might even be possible to get for less than 400k.
Make a great day,

 a community nexus in north oakland. check them out:

  Hello All,
 ==What?==
 There is a church that has gone bankrupt, and their property is for sale.
 2439 Adeline Street
 Oakland, CA 94607
 The appraisal value is $500k, but it is not on the market yet. (Appraisal
 pdf attached). So my feeling is that we can make an offer for somewhere
 around $400k if we organize quickly.
 There are some pictures in the appraisal PDF.
 I have set up an appointment to View the church at 8pm on Tuesday 1st
 October. I'm inviting you to come see if you want.
 ==Communal Buying==
 There are several ways to buy the property. I am intrigued by a
 multi-buyer shared-equity approach. Where everybody that pays not
 necessarily equal amounts, owns equity in not necessarily equal amounts.
 There has also been an offer of lender financing if we put $178k down.
 I am open to creative solutions.
 ==Potential Uses==
 Currently it is zoned "CIX" commercial-industrial mix. That means that
 officially you can only use one-third of the space for living. If we were
 to get a mortgage we would need a business license. Of course thought once
 you own it, there isn't zoning police that check what you do with it.
 So we could make this into housing, hostel, a venue, keep it a church,
 have a tiny house village on the back bit.
 Again I am open to creative solutions.
 ==Get in touch==
 If you want to come to the viewing, please email or call me (7074787023).
