"Shack Town" in Westland Mi. Any experience?

I own 3 condos on the edge of a neighborhood nicknamed "shack town" it consists of hundreds of duplexes. They go for around 20-40k and rent out for about $600-700 per side. Great numbers I know. Just looking for someone that has some experience in this area. It looks rough/ghetto to the eye. But once you look up the crime stats it is worlds better then other high yielding areas like Detroit.

@Thomas Blaine I didn't know you had one in Redford too. Great to know!

Yes Sir. First house I ever bought when I was 19! Bought it on Land Contract too.
