The Placement
Another single-family home placed in one of San Diego County's most in-demand submarkets.
Quality rentals in La Mesa move fast. The lease at 4160 Yale Ave is a clear example of what happens when a property is priced correctly, presented well, and put in front of the right pool of renters.
Placing a qualified tenant in a premium single-family home takes more than a yard sign. We positioned the home at a competitive market rent, syndicated it across our listing network, and screened applicants carefully - so the owner ended up with reliable tenants and a short time on market.

Strategic online syndication and detailed listing photos put the home in front of a wide pool of prospective tenants.
Thorough screening
A rigorous screening process confirmed the final applicants were reliable, qualified, and well-suited to the property.

A standalone home on Yale Ave puts tenants minutes from La Mesa Village's boutique shops and local dining, the retail of Grossmont Center, and Lake Murray for hiking and jogging. Quick access to Interstate 8 and Highway 125 keeps a commute anywhere in San Diego County manageable.
