A rare value-add opportunity in the heart of the SDSU rental corridor. This SDA-zoned lot is ready for an investor or developer to move fast.The existing SFR has immediate upside through a garage conversion and full remodel, creating a large 5BD/2BA unit built for student rentals. There's also room to add a second unit, a 1,200 sqft ADU configured as a 5BD/2BA, for a two-unit income property just steps from campus. Once stabilized, the property is projected to generate $12,000/month in gross rental income. All square footage, unit counts, development potential, and rental projections should be independently verified by buyer.
