It can hit you from many angles. For many people it comes in the form of the fact that they will not buy a property in an area that they would not personally live in or they will not buy a property that they would not personally live it.While in some situations this can be a good thing, at the end of the day you need to be focused on your bottom line profit and your standards might be higher than most other peoples. The most profitable areas for you to invest in might be in locations where you wouldn’t live but where the rental yield is high and you have lots of descent people that just want a good clean property to call home and they don’t necessarily want all the extra’s that you think are essential in a property.Being one of many and being part of the crowd is a powerful thing and very few people want to be an outsider.
