It's no longer a secret that Imperial Beach (IB) is a prime investment opportunity. It is by far the most affordable coastal neighborhood in San Diego, it's next to the Tijuana border crossing, and its downtown area is seeing a rejuvenation. There are condo options for under $300,000 and the detached home lots are also good ripe for constructing an auxiliary dwelling unit (ADU) to provide even more income and property value!
Imperial Beach is another neighborhood where you want to be cautious about investing just because the numbers are more favorable than other areas of San Diego. Some streets are much safer and more desirable than others so be sure you have a veteran agent to guide you in different pockets.
1450 Iris St Unit 9 - Full Deal Report
Though plainly updated, this 1B/1BA condo is a bread-and-butter rental that nearly breaks even on a monthly basis! For rentals in San Diego, it is imperative that condos have at least one reserved parking space (like this one does) and ideally two if it is a 2B since parking is so impacted here. The large living room, swimming pool, gym, and in-unit laundry are huge marketing features for this unit.
**Disclaimer: Keep in mind that when we analyze potential rental properties, we are very conservative in our numbers. We use an average market rent and account for all property expenses like maintenance, capital expenditures, vacancy, and management fees. Expenses are also estimated on the higher end. In reality you should see the rental properties performing slightly better than analyzed. We prefer to be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed with property performance!**
