Sometimes, seeing the same situation through a different perspective can be helpful. 

That makes sense from a buyer and renters perspective.

I am in the Port Saint Lucie, Fl market and i have an airbnb that is doing quite well from an income perspective. 

Talking with a real estate CPA and a good lenders can also give you perspective on your finances and how to reach your goals. 

But to put it in perspective I was only making $35,000 a year at my day job. 

From an investment perspective, I'd look to invest in small multi-family 2-4 units with a larger down payment ~50% or more (only way to produce positive cash flow here at the moment) Investing in San Diego right now isn't driven by immediate cash flow.

But it gives you a chance to get a fresh start....make your place nicer, replace appliances, new paint, get rid of carpet and replace with LVP, Etc....

Thank you for putting things into perspective @Dominic Mazzarella.
