Is it better to buy investment property in better area & pay 10%

[Tracie J.]

Hi there, Is it better to buy an investment property in better area & pay 10% -15% more for a better property/tenant? I'm struggling with this. If the numbers don't calculate as well, but I feel I have greater peace of mind. The perfect property/s haven't presented. How can I get over this and just take the plunge into investing and look at the numbers, not the quality of the property?

Life doesn't happen like a spreadsheet. In reality, the higher class properties will likely out perform lower class properties, even though a spreadsheet says different.
