Pros of Investing in Otay Ranch

Situated in the far southeast corner of Chula Vista, Otay Ranch is an idyllic patch of newer construction that often goes overlooked. The zip code is dominated by a large master HOA, Eastlake Greens, that is highly sought after by renters and homeowners alike for its great location, nice homes, and community amenities (how do large parks and three separate resort-style swimming pools sound?). The Olympic Training Center is also located in Otay Ranch!

**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!**
