I just moved out of Lakeside near El Cajon and am renting my spot out there.  

@JenYep thats the spot. 

Is there an age sweet spot?

Thanks for the "vote" and all of the comments above are spot on.

I had a lengthy post about the story of gentrification in west Oakland two days ago, and you can see that here: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/193883-the-story-of-gentrification-part-1-how-to-spot-it .

I've also been "hands on" in both of my personal rehabs, as well as those of my friends - so I know going in that if I say a property needs $20k in rehab - you'll be pretty spot on.  

It works great to stop white spots from showing on concrete, and could work on brick.

Auto dealerships often times want to lease parking spots, especially in high-cost areas and especially dealerships that sell high-end cars.

Everything about it is spot on.

Any how I look forward to seeing how this topic keeps trending, and I do feel some slight security that my BP family at the very least will spot the bubble early and notify the rest of us idiots before we are standing around underwater!
