buying on the fringes of a bad neighborhood

I have been looking and i think i found a property i can move on it pretty immediatly. Its pretty inexpensive its will provide a decent amount of cashflow i am in the position to get it with no money down i am going to house hack for a bit. My question is the neighborhood isnt the best. Ive looked at crime maps. And there is a hood amount of crime in the area but almost non of it is localized near the home a few are but the majority of the crime is a few blocks down. Its right near the train tracks that seperate the good neighborhood from the bad
Is the bad neighborhood enough to not buy it or is it ok because its on the fringes of a bad neighborhood? And not in its core
