As a rental, I don’t see how this cash flows. Just look at the assumptions below, that don’t even factor in vacancy, repairs, capital expenditure costs, so you’d really have to charge insanely high rent just to break even. Even if you paid all cash, there are better investments with higher potential return that are more passive (ie: buy & hold low cost total market index funds).

Oh man, looks like the HOA is doing a poor job of managing exterior of that community. There’s some serious TLC needed inside and out.

And as a fix & flip, I saw 2 nearby comps that are listed at $650k and $660k, respectively… I don’t know that one would come ahead on rehabbing that place then reselling considering the agent fees, renovation costs probably would exceed $100k

I tell all my investor clients, the best bang for the buck nowadays is a 3-bedroom DETACHED property in most part of South OC. You'll get no Mello Roos and very reasonable HOA with good potential appreciation as long as you buy in "B" or better schools areas. And I put my money where my mouth is, I own a 3-bd detached condo in Baker Ranch and Aliso Viejo.
