Should buy a rental property near train station

Nuo Shi
Posted

The property is in downtown with walking distance to train station, target, restaurants, movie theaters, park and etc. However, you can hear the train horn every half hour from 6:00am - 12:00 am. The station is just across the street. Should you buy this kind of investing property as rental? The pro is very convenient for some people, while the con is the noise.

I would talk to the tenants, speak to those in surrounding buildings, look at the amount of time between when a unit went vacant until it away rented again, etc.

I would think the location would be a detracting thing if someone is aware of the noise but as you said the convenience could win out. I would get out and talk to those in the area and get a feel for what they think.
