Investing in Property Near a Major Road?

Posted

Hi All! I have a question. I am trying to ramp up my pursuit of my first house hack. I have toured a few, no offers made yet, and have regretted missing out on some deals after over-thinking small issues. And now I am worrying if I am doing so again:

I ran numbers on this property on a new listing. They came out favorable for my strategy. Has a nice floorplan and opportunity for forced appreciation. However, this house is just two houses down from loop connector parallel to a highway. I believe I have read in one of the BP books that investing near a busy road is one of the key deterrents in an investment.

I want to start acting, but I also do want to be logical and calculated. Please please, I would appreciate all opinions and feedback: thoughts on investing in close proximity to busy roads?
