citydweller as someone who watches mission valley very closely and who purchases a rental there a few years ago and recently sold it, I would sit tight for awhile longer. The prices have come down considerably but I would wait until you can really get some cash flow out of the units there.
Also I recall an REDC sale of a 1/1 in Mission Valley that started at 129k. Now we are talking. I never tracked it to see what it went for.
