Buying rentals in the ghetto

hello I'm a new investor and I have been finding great deals but they all happen to be on the lower income side of town. I feel that it's a great area to invest in but it's kinda scary to think about investing in a house wheres there's more crime and break ins at. I'm kind of at a crossroads as to where to begin my real estate journey, I like the lower price of things with the houses on the lower income side but the neighborhood and people around it worries me. Any and all advice would be great thanks.
