I think it is a good time, depending on the condo and location within those areas. Given the price range you are talking about, there is a limited supply.
As with all rentals in San Francisco, it will depend on how much money you put down, the dues in the complex, whether you'll have outside management and what you hope to get out in income. Unless you plan on paying cash, you'll likely end up nearly breaking even, and waiting for time, appreciation and rental increases to increase your investment.
Your best alternative is to contact a local real estate professional who can help you answer this question taking into account your situation and perhaps introduce you to other areas of San Francisco where you may get more bang for your buck.
All the best
