Overview
About Allied Gardens & San Carlos
Allied Gardens is a small community north of San Diego State. The area is mostly residential, with a few restaurants and businesses. Its location is ideal for those that want to be close to everything–it’s near schools, Mission Valley, and La Mesa.

How much does Allied Gardens & San Carlos property management cost?
Every Allied Gardens & San Carlos property manager has their own fee structure. However, we offer house, condo, and/or 2-4 units property management for an 8% monthly management fee. Alternatively, we provide multi-family (5-15 units) property management for a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a leasing fee (which is 25% of one month’s rent), a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.
For Non-California residents, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) requires property managers to withhold a percentage of income from property owners who live out of state as a pre-tax. payment. Our charge is $50/quarter, which covers submitting these payments on your behalf and your annual tax forms. We ensure compliance and timely filings so you can avoid penalties and focus on what matters most.

Pros of Investing in Allied Gardens/San Carlos
Allied Gardens, Del Cerro, and San Carlos are boxed in by highways 15 and 125 on the west and east, and highway 8 on the south. They combine to make what may be one of the most popular rental pockets in all of San Diego, rivaling even the beach towns! Good Life consistently rents properties almost immediately in these zip codes, especially detached homes. It’s no surprise with the location across the 8 from San Diego State University and being sandwiched between the allure of shopping in Mission Valley and the charm of downtown La Mesa. Plus, rental rates tend to be a bit less than some of the more central neighborhoods in San Diego so the affordability is very appealing.
Cons of Investing in Allied Gardens/San Carlos
The only nitpicking that can be done of 92119 and 92120 is that many of the homes are older and have the common maintenance issues that accompany them (e.g., cast iron pipes or ancient single pane windows). When looking for investment properties here a healthy maintenance budget should always be factored in. Expect a hyper-competitive buying environment year round.
