I'll give you an example, I almost wholesaled a piece of land that was about 20 minutes away from a couple of casinos and inevitably there was a lot of traffic that went by.

As a single person studio it gets less traffic than most households would see.Also, prefinished wood has (so they say) a much better finish on it.

I did put up a big fence around back, and that helped a lot with the traffic driving through.SO anyways, I think my next step is to get a camera, start watching closer to see what the real problem is.

Permitting and our general inexperience really took its toll on the amount of time it took us to complete the building permit, right of way permit and traffic control permits but we finally broke ground April 25th, 2016.At this point we got a construction loan from an institutional lender for $1.2M mostly based on a strong referral from one of our teachers.

It's a small town when people looking for entertainment on a Sunday afternoon park at the bank to watch the time/temp sign change.It's a small town when the only traffic light only flashes during the day.It's a small town when the grocery store closes for lunch.It's a small town when the back of the church is city hall.It's a small town when the minister is the mayor and the justice of the peace and owns the real estate brokerage.It's a small town when everyone is related or use to be. :)

The Traffic jams and the Infrastructure.

The website hardly had any traffic and was severely underutilized. 

For renewals, one thing that we found that rewarded the tenant and helped us keep up with maintenance was to offer to paint refresh the main living area or kitchen or room of their choice, and to offer to shampoo the high traffic areas of their carpet, or as much as they wanted done for carpet.. 

I know the secret, which is our low unemployment, low taxes, low cost of living, low crime rate, low traffic, family values and great community. 

If I were planning on investing in Seattle this wouldn't deter me.What would deter me is their homeless problem, socialist city council woman harping about rent control, prices, the traffic and finally the frequent protests.I know prices are surging and housing is tight but the political climate there would concern me enough that I wouldn't consider investing inside the city limits.
