Poss. deal but properties are really cheap. Is that a bad thing?

I've read some articles on BP about buying properties that are very low cost.  Mainly that they attract certain kinds of tenants and turnover is higher.  Well there are 2 properties side by side 2/1 each and both are listed for 34K each. They both are occupied with long term tenants at 750 / month each.  

The numbers work at asking price and would net about 330/month each in profits and a 34% CoC ROI each. Now I believe they are both short sales as well so I could offer 30K each or less and I think they would be accepted.

The question is, if the numbers work well would you still shy away from truly cheap properties for the reasons stated above?
