80k but on busy to semi busy main st. Good idea or death trap?

[Scott McGill]

So I'm looking to buy my 3rd house but 1st Non owner occupied investment property. After listening to pod cast #54 I decided to see what homes under 80k looked like. I found a number of them to be on main roads through town.

Questions?

1. How do rents comapare to same house one block off main road.

2. Higher or lower vacancy rates? Great for advertising but poor location.

3. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
