Buying a property backed up to the freeway

[Brandon Pelfrey]

Anyone have experience with buying a rental property that backs up to a freeway?

I'm currently looking at a deal that looks good but the backyard is backed right up to the freeway. How have you seen this effect rent, length of tenure for tenants, resale value, etc.?

Ive owned a property that backed up to a main road. It affected the value by about 5% compared to properties just across the street.
