Why owning rental property in Tustin is a good investment
The city’s proximity to major employment hubs in Orange County, excellent schools, and quality-of-life amenities make it an attractive place to live.

Fueled by technology, healthcare, and education in town and its surrounding areas, Tustin’s economy is robust and provides stability to property values.
How much does Tustin property management cost?
Every Tustin property manager has their own unique fee structure, which can vary significantly from other Tustin property management companies. At Good Life Property Management, we offer house, condo, and/or 2-4 units property management for an 8% monthly management fee. Alternatively, we provide multi-family (5-15 units) property management for a 6% monthly management fee. In addition to monthly management fees, we charge a leasing fee (which is 25% of one month’s rent), a $150 annual inspection fee, and a $195 lease renewal fee.
For Non-California residents, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) requires property managers to withhold a percentage of income from property owners who live out of state as a pre-tax. payment. Our charge is $50/quarter, which covers submitting these payments on your behalf and your annual tax forms. We ensure compliance and timely filings so you can avoid penalties and focus on what matters most.

Home Prices
in Tustin
The home prices in Tustin reflect its quality as a city that can balance easy access to LA and other cities with the quiet living of a suburban life. This makes it an ideal residence if you’re working in the larger metropolitan areas but want a quieter life. However, it is also a favorable spot for retirees seeking peaceful, well-kept neighborhoods close to healthcare facilities and community centers. In neighborhoods like Tustin Ranch and Old Town, you can find a wide range of housing options, from luxurious estates to charming historic homes. In Tustin Field and newer developments around The District at Tustin Legacy, you can find condos and townhomes that require less maintenance. There are also homes closer to major highways like the I-5 and SR-55, giving you convenient access to surrounding cities.
Pros of Investing in Tustin
Living in Tustin offers you a quiet lifestyle and easy access to well-maintained city parks, community centers, and cultural activities. Compared to other cities in Orange County, Tustin is one of the most affordable cities to live in without sacrificing accessibility to nice community amenities. Some may also say Tustin has more character than newer, master-planned cities. While the cost of living is not as low as other cities like Anaheim or Santa Ana, it is still more affordable than coastal cities like Newport Beach or Laguna Beach. With easy access to major highways, you can get to Irvine, LA, Santa Ana, Long Beach, or San Diego relatively easily.
Cons of Investing in Tustin
Traffic can be a major issue in Tustin, especially during rush hours. Although proximity to major highways means that you can easily get to other cities, it also causes congestion, making your commute much longer. Most residents in this city are also car-dependent. Although Tustin has some public transportation options, its public transit system is not as robust as other cities, which can be a drawback if you’re looking to live in a walkable city. Additionally, the nightlife in Tustin can be quite limited.
