    Downtown San Diego Condos: USD Parent Alert!

    Are you looking to live close to the University of San Diego (USD)?  This is the perfect property for you or your college-bound child.  This has the quadruple 3's

    • 3 bedrooms
    • 3 baths 
    • 3 car garage
    • 3 unit complex. 

    Built new in 2006, this is the perfect investment property or home residence.  As you can see from the photo, there are only 3 units in the complex.  Perfect for your student and two roomates, or an owner occupant who wants plenty of room.  Unique use of solar panels dramatically cuts utility costs.  Granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a fireplace, loads of storage, privacy, yet close to both USD, Fashion Valley, Mission Valley and just minutes from downtown San Diego.  This type unit is not even available in downtown San Diego, so if you want a condo with lots of room, this may be for you or yours.  Downtown San Diego condos tend to be smaller square footage for more money.  This townhome is more than expected.

    This is also an opportunity to take advantage of a short sale.  The opportunity is second to none and the builder of this property wanted elegance.

     

    If you aspire to a great neighborhood with easy access to the beach and downtown plus USD, give Victoria a call at 619-977-3174 for further details.

    Downtown San Diego Condos: USD's Burnham-Moores Center

    Education is an important aspect of our business.  The University of San Diego has the USD Burnham-Moores Center For Real Estate as a part of the USD School of Business.  Victoria's MSRE is from this center and in case you or someone you know is interested in higher education in real estate development, we thought you might enjoy this brochure.

     

    Many of the professors in this program have and continue to be Downtown San Diego developers.  Knowledge of the Downtown San Diego marketplace is critical when you are selling condos.  It is sometimes amazing to us how many people don't know the history of particular buildings, the good and the bad.  Knowledge of downtown buildings in litigation is critical if you are trying to help a seller sell their unit or help a buyer purchase a unit.  Financing for buyers is contingent on the buyer, the condo, the building, the homeowner's association, and any potential or current litigation.  If you would like to view the entire brochure, just click USD's "Is A Real Estate Major For You?".

    New Condos Downtown San Diego:  Hooray!

    When you write the blog, you get to pick the topic. Since this is primarily a real estate site, most of the blogs are about real estate. This one is the exception....Hooray! Victoria is graduating with her MBA today and we are so excited. This is the culmination of her Bachelor's degree, her Master of Real Estate Science MSRE last year, and now the final Master of Business Administration MBA. Victoria's father and I are so proud of all her effort, so excuse me for the bragging. However, those of you who have children who have worked hard in whatever they do will understand our feelings. We all hope our children make it to adulthood in good shape and as good human beings. We feel that all the blood, sweat and tears has been worth it. We would also like to congratulate all of you who have worked hard to raise your children. It isn't easy.

    We also would like to thank all the professors, staff, guards, and everyone else at the University of San Diego who worked to make Victoria's experience so wonderful. Since USD is a Catholic University, we were a little apprehensive in the beginning since we are not Catholic. However, we picked the best university with the highest quality of people we could have chosen. USD is a family oriented university, or at least that has been our experience. Victoria's education is top notch and that is due to USD's environment.

    Yep, bragging I have been doing, so I hope you all can excuse this once over the top blog.
