Just ask the folks who own Rent-a-Centers, convenience stores, and Buy Here, Pay Here car dealerships. 

Or just open a business Gas Stations, Convenience Stores, small hotels/motels require 24/7 staffing they all require 5-10 people to run the whole thing, close family/friends all can live in close quarters working the business. 

You gave up $30k+ for "convenience". 

However, the average daily rate as you head further east is lower than in Joshua Tree proper, even though you have the convenience of the North park entrance.I own and operate 2 rentals out in Joshua Tree, one in Friendly Hills (less than 5 minutes from the saloon in a neighborhood) and one in Monument Manor (a mile from the West entrance and in open land, 7.5 acres).

It isn't true for all areas, but leaving the convenience of being close to your investments adds an element of risk.

Going back to the 1.5 Million dollar example above and let's say for convenience the total monthly fee of all 6 fees is $500/month. 

While I'm sure this could be attractive to a potential renter who has an RV, I also had the thought of perhaps renting it out to someone who might be looking for a place to stay in their RV for the night (especially since the property is well located and convenient to places folks would want to be).

People pay for flexibility and convenience all the time.

@Shiloh Lundahl Because it’s convenient.

Yes, there definitely are areas along the light rail from downtown to SM that are surging due to convenient transportation.
