If you have a new condo for, say, $600,000 which appreciates $150,000 per year you just don't want to rent it out. After being rented for a year it won't be "new", so it will lose more in value than the whole yearly rent. My guess many speculators think that they will be able to sell before the music stops. I wish them luck. They will need it.

The HOAs are going to be one bloody mess in the near future. San Diego simply has NO experience handling so many high rises. During the last round, there were only a handful of projects such as the old One Harbor Dr, the Meridian, Brittany Towels. Financing is also going to be a big problem if developers cannot sell out the phases to enough owner occupants. I am salivating at the up coming opportunities but not sure how it is going to play out. Downtown land is sooooooo expensive now that it practically requires a free fall for it to make any economic sense.
