Investor and flipper opportunity with views and upside of adding more units in the heart of La Mesa. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home at 7994 El Capitan Drive offers 1,145 square feet of living space on a generous 6,970 square foot lot with mountain views from a quiet residential setting. This home needs some love and is priced to reflect that, making it an ideal candidate for a flip, rental conversion, or long-term hold.
