Chula Vista has a population of 273K in 5 zip codes. I’m not sure where you’re referring to here.
I can’t give you any background until I have more specifics, Josh. And if you are buying “investment property” why is your main concern “demographics, schools and crime rate?” ALL of the city is safe in these respects and all of the schools are good and some are excellent. About half the tenants in Chula Vista don’t have any kids or their kids are adults. All the tenants I know in Chula Vista grew up within 5 miles of where they are currently renting.
If I was looking at investment property, I would be focused on the amount of rent it would fetch and what it would take in rehab/repair costs to fetch a particular amount of rent on a consistent basis and what my target tenant audience would be for that property. “Demographics, schools and crime rate” would not be my primary concern. Those things are the concern of the prospective tenant, IF they wish to concern themselves with them.
I don’t know if you have ever been a landlord, Josh, but you can’t legally choose a tenant based solely upon their demographic or family makeup. Rental investments are businesses.
