Especially elementary schools, because it is a convenience for people when their kids can walk to school. 

They don’t realize that an investor or real estate broker who knows the true market value of the property may be taking advantage of them by actively misleading the homeowner as to the true market value.The problems arise when the investor or real estate broker: Drives down the property value in the seller’s mind by showing them comparable properties that aren’t really comparable.Talks to the homeowner about all of the deferred maintenance that the property needs (which may or may not be true).Allows the homeowner to leave items behind (What is that “convenience” worth - the costs of renting a dumpster, hiring two-three workers for a day to unload your house?

@Monique Rene Coates if you're based out of Providence I regularly meet new investors for coffee at various locations around the city and would be happy to meet you sometime at a place which is convenient for you.I've met a number of folks from here on BP and the investor group Frank mentioned, and from what I can tell people seem to find it helpful or at least enjoyable :)(And I'll be happy to buy)

I'm also having difficultly with monthly reports.. when i export to CSV (w/ Airbnb) for monthly reports it exports to an Excel spreadsheet that is not the most convenient to use.   

Some may say too bad, make them learn...but I say give them multiple options to make it easier for you and for them.I work at a community with 350+ residents and many find the online rent payment convenient while many still prefer dropping off a physical check.I was doing the same thing at my 4-family...chasing cash every month but found it to be a huge hassle...I now only accept payment via Cashier's Check, Personal Check, Money Order, etc and it must be left in the rent box (located on the property) by a certain date otherwise a Notice to Quit is being sent to them.Best of luck!

Well I think its certainly more convenient to hire a credit consultant to help you obtain credit cards and inprove credit.

Buying a property at auction without an inspection is about as far from safe and convenient as it gets.

Today, I have the cash savings, but I still keep my credit lines active just in case something unexpected happens (my credit lines don't cost me anything to keep open and using them to pay for an emergency is more convenient than trying to transfer cash on the spot from savings to checking).

Carefully look how long the lease is for, the strength of the operator, if the lease has recourse (personally liable), and if convenient - - watch and see if the business is busy.One of the main risks for a NNN property is what happens after the business goes out of business.
