Does bad street condition make it hard to attract tenants?

[Zachary Sharpell]

I had a recent walkthrough of a potential duplex investment in San Diego, and it definitely needs work. One of my concerns is the condition of the road leading up to the driveway of the duplex. The asphalt is non-existent and it’s essentially a dirt/gravel road with lots of potholes. Will the bad condition of the road make it harder to attract tenants?

Some details - the road is not managed by San Diego county, and it doesn’t appear that the city of Lemon Grove has done any work on it (I can’t find documentation anywhere that this road is city-managed though).
