Nice! 

This is for a LTR in a nice area (A-/B+ area (pt Loma), but B unit due to MF).  

Your biggest issue is that $50k may not let you get a nice house and have any reserves.

Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development just dropped their December report, and it’s big.

.- Community Floodplain Management: Flood zone maps are essential for local governments to manage floodplain development and maintain eligibility for NFIP participation.- Risk Awareness: Flood zone designations still help people understand general flood risks in their area.Elevation still matters under Risk Rating 2.0, but its role is handled differently compared to the old system.Under the old system, elevation certificates were often required to calculate insurance rates.

Nice.

One thing I’ve always done is focus on the 75th percentile of the rent estimates, as my properties tend to fall into that range (very nice, but small with no amenities).While I think there will always be some manual research involved, the current platforms lack key functionality that could be easily implemented with the available market data and technology.1.Quality Metrics:•Filter comps to match the quality of your rentals.

As for the zip code you mentioned, some of the areas in there are nice due to steady rental demand, you just want to be very careful on the neighborhoods you select as some areas will be better than others.

This is basically a math problem that will depend on both you personal finances & also how much of this is an investment vs you want a nice house to live in4.

Looking on AirBnB and VRBO, looks like there are some nice listings.
