Anyone working in Old North Sacramento?

[JR Silva]

I have been looking at properties in Old North Sacramento - specifically 95815 area code. It seems that there are opportunities to CF there. I'm a new investor from the Bay Area and have been heavily looking in Oakland. From speaking with a couple of Sacramento property managers - I'm hearing C, more like D-type neighborhoods. One literally yelled, "WARZONE!" as he tried to get me off the phone (embellishing a bit but you get the idea). I'm a bit jaded to the meaning of "hood" or "ghetto" - having looked at properties in East Oakland.
 

I'm driving there soon to check out the area but would like to hear from experienced local investors, agents, etc. regarding the location.
