I think you’ll probably have better luck finding something that works out, mathematically, with a condo, than a SFR.

I was in the hunt for something similar and targeted North Park, South Park, City Heights, Linda Vista, Clairemont, etc.

Unfortunately, the well maintained places were too expensive, and even the dumps were overpriced considering the work you’d have to put in…. relative to the rents you’d get.

There have been several Piggs who’ve had luck finding units that work for them. flu, AN, spdrun all picked up rentals in the past couple of years.
