Rough neighborhood creative investment leveraging carry back occp

[Loni Anderson]

Curious to know if anyone has done a deal in a rough neighborhood (where collecting rents might be challenging) where one multifamily occupant is a offered the asset with investor carrying paper? I'm looking at Steel Belt areas with two challenges. 1. sketch neighborhoods and 2 difficult to find management.  Could this be a solution?  Or some variation of this idea?
