I see, Scarlett. A “cosmetic fixer” might be fine, then … that is, a property that just needs a minor “face-lift” and/or some landscaping purchased. An 1800 sf SFR might work, depending on the layout.

That’s correct.

WOULD be willing to commute to/from the right property. As for your 30 min door-to-door requirement to/from employers, I’m not sure if this is possible on a regular basis from the areas you are mentioning here.
(…)would take a 1600 to 2000 sf SFR which possibly might need remodeling, either immediately or at some point in the future.[/quote]
PQ, NW Mira Mesa are about at that 30′ threshold on most days. My boss lives in PQ and I know his commute (he claims 25′, I-15 to 52) and similar work hours (9:30 – 6). CMR and SS are not quite there, but if we REALLY like something there that’s a good deal too we might compromise on the commute, or alter our work schedule – we like those neighborhoods as well. Scripps Ranch is also not too far from 30′, so same thing applies (although less likely since it’s more expensive). We are keeping an eye also on UC.
