I would suggest buying without value add only if you were going to keep the property at least 10 years. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-diego/real-estateI think your plan to rent in San Diego is likely the correct choice especially as you get to know the area. 

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Yes I own two that are near 100 years old and I will tell you they are a pain in the you know what compared to all of my post WW2 properties especially post 1980… layouts are better in the last 50 years and energy efficiency is better and I can keep going… HOWEVER to reply to the other aspect of your question, I’ve found appreciation is better with older properties in areas of the path of progress.

You can probably find info about rents on dubizzle.com, but you will have to dig some more to find the expenses.My prediction for the Dubai market is that it will continue to correct further for the foreseeable future.

It seems like the shortest path to cash-flow with the less out of pocket expense.
