What is considered a war zone

[Christopher Owens]

I’ve recently been looking into investing in Georgia originally in kingsland and saint mayrs but I came across hinesville and the prices look good but I pulled this up

38 per one thousand residents

With a crime rate of 38 per one thousand residents, Hinesville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 26.

Is this a bad place to invest?

My point is, you need to work where you feel comfortable .

Watching the news and reading stats can paralyze ya if you are not careful. 

If a foreign nation had stuff going on like we do in America right now, we would be sending in troops to help and put them on a watch list for travel. With that said, living here in America, It is not that bad! In fact it is pretty freaking great!

I have invested in "war zones" and nice areas, it really does not matter. Just buy right and understand the market that you are in. My son started buying at 13, the only place he could afford was a war zone. He went there and worked on signing leases, meeting contractors an ultimately showing sellers. If I thought it was that bad, I would not have put my son in that type of situation. 

 I hope that helps. 

Good luck! Stay safe! :-)
