Joy-Schaefer/Aviation suburbs of Detroit - should I invest?

[Larry Zarou]

Hoping for some help... I am a newbie when it comes to long-distance real estate investing and was looking at a property in the Joy-Schaefer/Aviation suburbs of Detroit. I did look at the crime stats and the area is certainly not clean. I was wondering if those of you that are familiar with the area can advise... provide your thoughts on the area. Should I stay away? Is this a high-risk area? I would appreciate any information you would have.
 

thank you!!!
