I had a previous post where I was looking for a 3BR place <$300K near the theme parks in Orlando.

Harrowgate is up and coming in my opinion, even though people still may call it Needle Park.

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Understand exactly how big is the structure, how are you orient the structural, what's the access situation, parking situation, driveway, landscape, and waste water management.

Understand the exit (lending) and you can determine how much cash you're going to need to park into a single deal. 

I have also looked in areas like La Mesa, North park, Clairemont.

I would keep my eyes and ears open to Denver Heights (west of Walters), Highland Park, and Riverside!

Less parking?
