[quote=FlyerInHi]I have a friend who bought a 2/1 condo in Huntington Beach for about $350. It’s old but with a good remodel it will be very comfortable. She did FHA.[/quote]
My brother bought something similar in Encinitas earlier this year for 315k. It cash flows in his instance, but in yours it could be a great starter pad that becomes a rental down the road once you have two incomes like you mention. It’s barely east of the 5 so you could walk to everything in Encinitas as well as the beach.
