Decatur Alabama which area's to buy in

[Robert Fehl]

Hi everyone, I have been looking around a while in Decatur Alabama to buy multi-family (5 units and up) properties because it seems there are bargains still available there compared to Huntsville but there are some pockets where crime is really high. I realize that most cities have area's where crime is higher in spots but since I don't live there I'm asking for advice from some savvy local investors on where the best area's are or would it might be better to just invest in Huntsville or Madison.
