Our Lakeside Property Management Services

Overview

About Lakeside

Lakeside is in eastern San Diego and has a population of about 22,000 residents. It’s 20 miles east of central San Diego. Lakeside leans more rural than most other San Diego cities and has more single family detached homes and even some farms. You can still find a few newer housing developments throughout the area. 

Lakeside is a great place if you like outdoor activities. There are multiple lakes, hiking trails, and parks. There are even a couple golf courses in the area! You’re in luck if you’re an equestrian; there are multiple farms, ranches, and dairies. They also host the 2nd largest Western Parade with the most equestrians in California! On top of that, they host two rodeos per year. 

Marketing

How we market your Lakeside property

When our property management company markets your Lakeside property, we use the most popular online platforms. In other words, we create listings on websites such as Zillow, Trulia, Hot pads, and more to allow potential renters to easily find your property. We showcase extensive information about your property, including images, amenities, price, and more.

How we help you find the perfect rent price

Our property management company assists you in determining the best rental price for your property by conducting a thorough market analysis. This includes investigating comparable properties in the area, examining current rental market conditions, and taking into account factors such as your property’s location, size, and condition. Based on this analysis, we will recommend a competitive rental price that will assist you in attracting the right tenants for your property.

Furthermore, our property management company will monitor the rental market and adjust the price as needed to ensure that your property remains competitive and generates the desired rental income.

Pros of Investing in Lakeside

Lakeside sits on the far east side of San Diego County is a semi-rural community that like nearly all of San Diego, still has a strong rental market. Renters here are drawn to the open space and seclusion while still having the option to drive down the road to Santee or El Cajon for shopping and entertainment. If you shop hard enough you can find huge lots for a decent price. With all of that additional space there could be nice opportunities to construct ADUs for more revenue from the property!

Cons of Investing in Lakeside

Due to the rural nature of Lakeside, rents are generally lower and don’t keep up with the home values very well (making for tough price-to-rent ratios). Many of the homes are mid-century built and may have deferred maintenance to account for such as foundation work and roofs. The BANG energy drink epidemic has hit Lakeside hard, with an average daily consumption rate by residents of 2.8/day (compared to the national average of 0.06/day!).

What to Avoid in Lakeside Neighborhoods

When choosing where to buy your investment property, you should be on the lookout for a few things. These things can be a red flag for the kind of area you want to avoid. 

  • Trash in the front or backyard 
  • Vandalism nearby (graffiti, damaged property, etc.) 
  • Multiple vacant homes close by 
  • Poor street light; street feels unsafe
  • Backs up or is close to a major highway or freeway 
  • Foundation issues 
These are the year to date stats as of June 2022. For monthly stats, visit the San Diego Association of Realtors website.
