You can ask around, but that often is tough because no one wants to lose their favorite. 

San Diego is one of our favorite places to visit!

We did like the Dead body jobs, Meth lab, house burned down, and my favorite was code violations. 

I can't stress this enough, please use anything else, redfin or realtor.com are my favorites that I use for other areas outside of our MLS.

Investing in notes is my favorite for retirement accounts for several reasons: passive investing, low risk (if you do your due diligence), good returns.This topic has been discussed here on the forum many times, I suggest you search the forum for the related discussions and you can learn a lot.

Good credit is not my favorite thing....lol

My favorite option is to have a good manager, or even a traditional real estate agent, take care of the tenant turns then just have the tenant pay you directly each month. if there's ever a problem, they can be a good contact for you in the future too.

not sure if that area's economy has improved but I was looking at stuff pre GFC there and it was pretty depressed. although Its one of my favorite airports to fly into.. especially landing from the west and coming in over the ocean and Bay its a really cool approach and the 100.00 hamburger joint on the field was good. although i think it may have closed.To me its one of those markets you have to be super careful in.
