Flipping homes in not so great neighborhoods?

[Jessica Hood]

I personally live in a nice middle class neighborhood. This is all new to me so forgive me if I sound naive.

I see a lot of really cheap properties in neighborhoods that are not the greatest. Does anyone work these types of areas or is it really a waste of time and too much of a potential health hazard to even bother with it?

I am starting out with a small chunk of money and a small window of opportunity. It's important that my first actions are profitable and not a loss. I have to make this count.

I have other ideas, but want to stay on topic in my threads.
