On top of that you have the added inconvenience of needing transportation (another cost) just to get there and it ends up taking more of your time up just to get a shirt washed.So I still think that even with tenants having to pay to do laundry per load, it's still an added convenience that should increase how attractive your property is to tenants.

This is why it is important to purchase in the right location - Education, Amenities, Employment, Transportation, are within reach.  

side, For STR, I would personally look around the university (MTSU) area (graduations, games, weddings, etc), or the Medical Center Pkwy area (transportation to Nashville, corporate Nissan/Amazon, medical personnel. 

Hi Ravi - while it'd be helpful to know more, like the others have said, I can tell you a bit about the downtown housing market and if you're looking for something in the greater Hartford, you'll have to give us more detail :) The downtown residential market is at 98% occupied and there's a lot of activity which suggests positive growth and more bodies on the street between the new public transportation system, two university moves into the central business district, the development of Downtown North with the new baseball team...the Yard Goats...please don't hold that against us, and a lot more residential units coming online in the next year - which is actually a positive for those people considering investing in residential because in urban environments like Hartford, residential markets follow an odd trend where the greater the supply of housing, the more greater the demand.

Never got an offer accepted, but I like those areas due to proximity to NYC and public transportation.

It is close to the public transportation, and it is 5 mins away from 2 major highways.3.

No 2nd car (impossible to take public transportation to work for 2nd roommate, due to distance). have only every seen 1st roommate. 

The ideal location would be a house in a great neighborhood, with great schools and easy access to public transportation.

Ford tells them that once he perfects the manufacturing of the horseless carriage, it will be the best mode of transportation ever invented.

Transportation can be good or bad debt.
