Investing in sketchy areas....
Hello all-
I am looking at a few properties, one in particular is fully remodeled, has tenants but after asking questions about the area on a facebook group I am told that gunshots are heard in the area and police are present often.
Is this an area where as an investor one sees opportunity with a unit thats fully renovated and a start to beginning to gentrify an area or an area where you'd rather avoid until more people jump into that ship
Any advice would be helpful & appreciated
Carlos
