investing in sketchy areas...

[Carlos Quiros]

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

 I live in German Village, which is an A area downtown. I hear gunshots and police sirens often.
