scaredy, you are probably standing in line in a crowded REO in a crowded nondescript RIV County ‘hood that has rock-bottom prices (for VERY GOOD REASONS).
Why don’t you make some old folks in No. SD County some offers? Not as many buyers are looking for 2+ AC properties. Flippers don’t generally gravitate to them either.
I didn’t investigate the price paid or how long they were owned for the properties I suggested above, but I would venture that some of them have been owned a long time. 75+ year-olds that are moving in with their children in Oregon or somewhere aren’t looking to make a killing. They’re looking to move on because their time is running out. Just sayin’.

ParticipantOkay, scaredy, I’m getting the feeling you are thinking too much and paralyzing yourself. I feel your frustration and am not even that familiar with all the nuances of North County but will give this a shot.
My advice: endeavor to invest in SD County as opposed to RIV. I think you will find it to be a more worthwhile investment in that it will keep its value better in the future.
If you are not very handy and/or are too busy with work, than you should probably just stick with a cosmetic fixer and not a “shell” of a house as the “flipper” numbers won’t work in this market unless you are a licensed contractor yourself with a variety of expensive tools and heavy equipment at your disposal and the know-how and/or labor pool to use them. Even then, it’s a crapshoot whether they will make any $$ in the end.
I think you have a great rent, BUT . . . the current interest rates are lower than I’ve ever seen in my life!
Don’t be afraid to take out a small purchase $$ loan of $150K to $200K. You’ll be okay. I’m a single mom who owes over $200K and am only a paralegal and I’m okay. Scaredy, now . . . take a deep breath. I can understand why your spouse wants the PRIVACY. Please keep an open mind and consider these properties for immediate move-in or cosmetic fixers.

The following listing has great bones!! Needs asphalt and landscaping and attention on inside too. Awesome property, IMHO.
Gosh, I’m getting excited for you already, scaredy, and I’m stuck here in SUHSD so my last kid can finish school. Happy hunting and . . . chin up!
