Why Buy a Condo in Downtown San Diego?

Your condo you live in today can become a gold mine down the road once you eventually move and turn it into a rental property.

My Top Tips for Buying a Condo in Downtown San Diego

If you’re ready to take the plunge and buy a condo in downtown San Diego, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Work with a local real estate agent: When I say local, I mean someone who knows the buildings, who knows the market and maybe most importantly knows the neighborhoods. The last thing you want is to buy into the wrong community. They are all great but for very different reasons in some cases.
Consider your lifestyle: Think about what you want from your downtown San Diego condo. Do you want to be close to the city’s best restaurants (such as Little Italy) and nightlife (Think Gaslamp Quarter)? Make a list of your priorities and use them to guide your search.
This is an absolute must! Get pre-approved for a mortgage: This will give you a better idea of how much you can afford to spend and will make your offer more attractive to sellers. I cannot stress how critical this is. Choose the right lender. Contact me for recommendations.
Review the building’s rules and regulations: Make sure you’re comfortable with the building’s rules and regulations before you make an offer. For example, some buildings may have restrictions on pets or rental units.
Consider the building’s amenities: Many downtown San Diego condos come with a range of amenities, such as a pool, gym, or rooftop terrace. Think about which amenities are important to you and factor them into your decision-making process.
