worth getting duplex in the hood?

[Jack Rengold]

i was thinking about getting a rental property in bad part of my town to start my portfolio.

The reason i was thinking about starting in this area is because i would have a good chance at getting it owner financed.

i know it would be a higher risk, but everyone needs to start somewhere.  I gotta take risks eventually and i figured this could be where i start.

opinions?

i have about 8k in reserves incase something goes wrong.
