Hello
With the prices of real estate down a bit, I am thinking of investing in a 2/2 rental property in the San Diego area. I am trying to compare various areas like Carlsbad, Mission Valley, Downtown etc from various perspectives like vicinity to big employers which will keep the rental demand high. Also important is that neighbourhood be reasonably safe. Any insights from locals or from anyone in know-how would be appreciated.


thanks
Photobuddy

I'm looking to do the same thing. The market looks like it will bounce back pretty good because of all the military members there. I'm one myself and if I was to invest in a condo I would go with one near one of the many bases. As long as it is clean you WILL make money off of it. Even in the short term. I just posted a thread of my own asking for help on a website I'm looking into. I just shot out an e-mail to the Relator on the website to see what she had. Maybe she could help you too. The address is Welcome to TheMilitaryDirectory.com I had to e-mail Sara who runs the website to get her e-mail address. Who knows...she might be able to help the both of us.

Well places in and around Mira Mesa, because of Sorrento Valley jobs, UCSD, and Miramar.

More inland and toward Chula Vista areas are cheaper, though I don't know about their proximity to centers of work. Chula Vista is somewhat close to downtown. I think downtown has a small glut of places available.

The biggest problem with condos is the HOA, which pretty much always goes up, and some may be underfunded.
