We have been seeing more and more investors looking to purchase condos Downtown San Diego – Penrose Condo. The questions we frequently hear about investing in properties in downtown San Diego include:

• Which is a better investment, a one bedroom or two-bedroom condo?
• What will my return on investment be?
