The areas I've covered have been Santee, El Cajon, La Mesa, National City, Spring Valley, Mira Mesa, Lemon Grove, City Heights and Encanto.

I have found numerous lots with infrastructure for sell that are read to be built on right.

Personally, I don't mind the C class neighborhoods in my market.I find that my Section 8 renters take great care of my properties if I give them a good product and I am relatively responsive to their needs.There are "professional" section 8 renters out there that take pride in their residence, but find that they are better off keeping a certain income to get their government benefits.I know this is a totally different discussion, but it is amazing how our local, state, and national governments take care of folks if they work the system.You can get great long-term tenants by giving a little personal attention to them and letting them know that you are in the business of taking care of their home and want them to stay there for the long term.The investor receives great returns and the tenant has a nice quality dwelling where they would like to live.A big problem in my market is that a lot of "old school" landlords don't put money back into their investments.  

I personally find it easier, and have heard from numerous other sources, that sticking to one niche/strategy helps a lot in the beginning.
