Solid 3B/2BA detached home tucked in amongst the lovely (but invasive and not indigenous) eucalyptus groves of Scripps Ranch. Though it would still rent quickly in its current condition, with a bit of investment and elbow grease rent could likely be raised $200/month for more appealing numbers.

Like Poway, there aren't a ton of condo communities in Scripps Ranch. However, we manage a few units in the Miro / Ravel HOA and they always rent quickly. A huge catch with this property are the Mello-Roos fees to the tune of over $800, making for an additional $1000 cost combined with the HOA fees! It is crucial to consult your agent when looking at properties to factor in if a potential property has fees like this to avoid wrecking your calculations only after escrow closes.
