High-demand, high-growth areas like San Diego naturally amplify this effect.On top of that, managing fewer high-value properties here—like a 4-unit in San Diego—has been much simpler and more efficient than managing 10–20 properties in lower-cost markets with higher capex and slower rent and value appreciation.Many beginner investors, however, lack a firm grasp of basic real estate finance.
