hello BP Members, 

I am excited and delighed that i have found this community. I have been practicing real estate as a Raltor for the past 12 years and is now switching hats to the investor side. What are your thoughts on investing in neighborhoods that have crime? They have the cheapest properties but may nnot be the easiest to flip? Looking for some suggestions, I am thinking I shold stay away from these but I am not sure. What are your thoughts? I am looking to begin wholesaling until I am able to build capital to buy something that I can hold.

Personally, I wouldn't buy anywhere that I would not feel safe living there myself. 

Notice that I didn't say, wouldn't want to live there. (feel safe living there)
