Is Trenton NJ safe to invest in?

[Alexander Gonta]

Hi Everyone, I heard to rent to price ratio is attractive in Trenton, but this is equally true in Irvington and Camden. Besides the downtown area near the government buildings, is this a D-class area or War Zone type of area? I'm a begginer in real estate and don't want to get burned. Trenton is about 2 hours away from where I live and I'm looking for good returns but not too rough. Any suggestions?  Should I look for the Midwest instead?  Price range of $40k-$80k for single family is desired target.
