Unexpected 1st Deal Speed Bump

[Jacob Neville]

A problem I'm having finding my first SFH deal that I didn't really consider is being able to evaluate C and C+ neighborhoods. I've been so lucky and fortunate to have parents that let me stay with them and when I finally did move out it was to an area not so dissimilar to what I was used to. I don't want to come off as classist or snobby because that's not at all how I intend this. How do you guys evaluate neighborhoods you might not prefer to live in yourselves?
