East County context
El Cajon sits in a valley about 15 miles from downtown San Diego, with Mount Helix and Grossmont nearby and a trolley line into the city. It has a diverse population and a busy commercial core. The coast is 30 minutes or more away, depending on traffic, and summers are hot.
Neighbouring communities include La Mesa, Santee, Spring Valley, Lakeside and Poway. Chula Vista is across the county to the south.
Foreign buyer notes
Nothing in California law stops a non-citizen from purchasing here. Budget for annual tax of roughly 1% of the purchase price plus local assessments, and for earthquake cover and, on the hillier edges, wildfire exposure. Lenders that serve overseas borrowers exist, though they ask for bigger deposits. Should you let a unit, state tenant-protection law will apply.
For the practical steps, read the guide to buying US property, look at lending for non-residents and test numbers in the mortgage calculator.
