Neighborhood info Milwaukee Zip Code: 53215

I've been looking at some rental properties in 53215 area. On spotcrime I've noticed a few shootings which scares me. If I see a few assaults that's one thing for me, but shootings is another. Can I get some feedback from the local Milwaukee investors on this area? I've found a good property, but do not want to invest in a dangerous part of town.

Current Thoughts:

I'm located in Milwaukee looking for my first rental property. It has been a struggle to get the numbers to work due to property taxes. In addition, the crime seems high.

I'm originally from Kansas City, and have considered investing there. The numbers work much better. Low taxes, lower crime, but out of state for me.

My Strategy:

Buy and hold rental properties

Thanks!
