Rare investment opportunity featuring a $48,000/month NNN master lease with House of Metamorphosis, a well-established nonprofit operator with approximately 50 years in business, delivering stable, predictable income with minimal landlord responsibility.

The 8,450 SF building offers an average unit size of approximately 325 SF, maximizing income efficiency. Situated on a 7,000 SF lot with motel zoning, the property presents limited land value contribution; however, the zoning carries significant embedded entitlement value for SRO and behavioral health uses—an increasingly scarce and difficult-to-replicate asset class in San Diego. Investors are presented with a dual-path opportunity: continue operating with a reputable, long-term tenant under a true NNN structure, or reposition the asset for alternative residential or lodging uses, leveraging the existing 26-unit configuration and flexible zoning.
