Low Income Apartments

So I just recently ran across three apartment buildings in a low income area not too far from where I live. First off, for those of you that have or have had low income apartments, what are some of the issues you faced with them? They are pretty dated but are currently renting between 500-575 a month. They could stand to have the kitchens and baths updated along with paint and flooring, but is it worth it to dump a bunch of money in updating a low income area? Even at the current asking prices, figuring for a higher than normal vacancy loss, I think they would have great cash flow. I just don't know what kind of headaches are involved with low income areas. Any input is appreciated. -CJ
