Lakeside 92040. It is a little further maybe than I’d like, 35 minutes vs current 25 minutes to work. There isn’t much in Lakeside under 300K. The property layout is a little unique and certainly not for everyone. That combined with the 20% down conventional requirement probably kept everyone else away. I choose to take that as a sign that this was meant to be my place. I had expected fierce competition like my previous offers on properties. I think that after a few weeks on market people start to assume there is something wrong with the place.
We have a tenant in mind for the granny flat…a long time friend who will likely be a long term renter and we’ll offer an under market rate. If we move we’ll have someone we trust to keep an eye on the place. My monthly out of pocket cost will be less than the 2/2 condo I’m renting now in La Mesa.
