@Hai Loc Thanks for the encouragement! I'll definitely be digging deeper into this deal. Sunday morning I'll be taking a drive by the church to check out the traffic around service time. Thanks again for your input.

@John Warren I was worried that some people might be bothered by the occasional traffic or just the vicinity to a religious institution. I’m in the Bible Belt so maybe being close to a church isn’t a big deal, but I feel like it could be a negative in some renters eyes in more liberal / progressive towns.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

@Brian R.

Thanks for the input! This particular church has services on Sunday morning and for one hour every Wednesday night, so not too bad. No AA meetings or food banks either.

I’ll have to check out their parking situation though. I had not considered that yet.

Thanks for helping me out.

P.S. I tried searching the site but didn't find this exact question. If someone knows of this topic already being covered elsewhere, then I apologize for the repost and hope to be pointed in the right direction.

In my search for my first rental, I've found an enticing home. There's just one thing. It's right across the street from a church and down the street from another one. It's located in a good neighborhood, but I have no idea how being across from a church would affect the way potential tenants look at it or how that could possibly affect its appreciation relative to the rest of the neighborhood. 

Do any of you have experience investing in properties next to a church? What was your experience? Is it something you'd steer clear of? Any input is greatly appreciated.
