Usually schools and crime... walkability comes in to play in some areas (usually more urban,) but local conveniences certainly can be a factor.

Whatever is convenient for you. 

@Andrew Terrell Yes I'm very comfortable and familiar with the neighborhood, I have a friend and a few family members who live a few blocks away so this would be pretty convenient for visiting them.

We asked in one addendum to have all rents collected before close but again they conveniently didn’t sign.

From the perspective of someone who rents residential units to people for profit you couldn't convince me to miss 2 months or whatever it works out to be worth of income so you can move in when it's convenient to you.

Actually Rocket Mortgage online was best rate and pretty convenient.

It would be faster, less expensive and more convenient for you when you want to invest in a new property. 

If rental is offered for $600 a month with utilities in the building next to use, nobody will rent from you for $600+RUBS- note, laundry usually does not bring extra income, it is normally installed for tenanats convenience. - let phone entry is also important but again, compare it to rental around you.

Purchase price: $141,500 Cash invested: $29,000 Single family home in West Side of Worcester, MA; conveniently located one block from Worcester State University and less than 2 miles from Worcester Regional Airport.

This is very convenient, in my opinion, because it helps you insure that you will have passive income for a longer period of time.
