Condo or Townhome @ Imperial Beach,CA

[Namal Burman]

I am looking to buy one property(Investment) near Imperial Beach near Ocean . Currently looking at two properties one is Condo priced around 800K( which is not Ocean Facing) and one is townhome priced at 1.25M. Planning to put more then 20% Downpayment . I am aware of the Sewage issue and i am aware that in this high interest regime it won't be a cash flow property. But I want to own a property near beach and love imperial beach as its still affordable. What would you folks suggest i should be aware of? I am not new in RE (Own 2 (condo+townhome) +primary home) and all units are in San Diego and know want to buy something near beach and been in Imperial Beach lot of times love the place :)

Any guidance how should i approach?
