One of the many factors to consider when buying a home or investment property is viewing the location both day and night. Visit the location on several occasions including early morning and early evening. Also, late evenings and mid-day. "After-school" hours to assess school speed zones, bus stops locations and proximity to schools. Check nearest location to shopping and entertainment (if there is a disco around the corner, that might not be something you want to live close to) and see if accessibility is convenient (if the nearest grocery store is a gas station, you might want to move closer to town).
The location of nearby street lights is also important to consider for night time access to the property. If you need to add driveway lights or motion lights to the property, you want to know that ahead of time.
If you are a first time homebuyer, this may be new knowledge for you. You should be well informed of the entire home buying process once you get pre-qualified, the rest of the home shopping process has a lot less paperwork and is actually FUN.
In today's high tech world looking at homes starts online for many. Looking at a home online will save time and give you faster access to a property you do like and eliminate those you don't.
