Bad Idea? - Rental Next to Fire Station

Chin P.

Posted

I was looking at some properties last week and happened to see one right next to a fire station.  That got me thinking about what effect something like that would have on the ability to rent out units considering the potential for noise.  Does anyone have experienced then can share trying to rent out units next to fire stations, police stations, and hospitals where you might be getting loud noises at all hours.  I'm thinking maybe depressed rents, long vacancies, maybe some more unusual types of tenants that would be okay with that.  But I'm just speculating.  I wonder if anyone could share their experiences.  Thanks.

Lower fire insurance .  If the price is right everything rents to someone .  There are plenty of houses near rr tracks , businesses , airports , you get use to it..
