While the general idea about San Diego condominiums is that there are too many of them, investors have been buying them for rentals – and in San Diego, that appears to be a good thing. San Diego’s rental homes have a 95 percent occupancy rate, and rents are expected to increase by at least another one percent over the next two years.

Little Italy in San Diego is one of the most popular spots in the city. Little Italy is known for restaurants, great markets and specialty food stores, a convenient location, and it is one of the most affordable areas in San Diego for the quality of the building and residence.

Spurred on by California’s 10,000 tax credit and the national $8000 credit, buyers are showing up to take advantage of bargains in the San Diego area.

One of the downtown buildings I particularly like for investors and homebuyers seeking opportunities is Aqua Vista in Little Italy. These are high quality units in a fantastic location. They appeal to first time home buyers, renters, young professionals.
