What are the best neighborhoods in San Jose to buy a rental investment property?

I am going to buy a rental property for investment (a Condo, in the range of $150,000 to $250,000). I am not familiar with San Jose area. Could any one tell me what are the best neighborhoods and/or which neighborhoods should I avoid in San Jose?

What is a good formula for splitting profits on a rental property investment?

I am involved in a 3-way investment on a rental property and we are being forced to sell because of a DOT project. Our profit on this property will be approximately $75,000 and we need to figure out how to split this up. Being close family members, we weren’t too concerned about figuring this out we bought the property.

I would really appreciate any suggestions from real estate investors experienced with partnership investments like this.

Here are the figures for the capital and work/mangement invested by each party.

Investor #1:
Invested $150, 000 by taking out a regular home loan.
Lived at the property and payed “rent”.
Did 85% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #2:
Invested $75,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 0% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #3:
Invested $25,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 15% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Thank you!
