Investing in lower income areas for first property a good idea?

[Connor Moro]

I'm brand new to investment properties. I've been researching properties in my high priced market. I am looking at properties in lower income areas to BRRRR. Properties are fairly low priced and easily renovated into a nice unit. I'm more concerned about the areas and the tenants it will attract. I've never gone through the screening process of new tenants and worried I wouldn't get the refinance based on the area.

Good or bad idea to start in these areas to get into it for a lower price and try to gain momentum ?
