What areas do investors in Colorado springs and surrounding areas tend to stay away from? Whether its crime, gangs, war zones, or something else that can effect you reselling. How can I become aware of these areas? can i find these areas using the mls? Thanks in advance BP

    Landon I am not from your area but it looks like your asking about C Springs and live there as well.  What areas would you not want your mom / wife / sister to even walk in - stay away from those areas.  

    - If your new to the area walk ALL the streets.

    - Start your own lists A: 'I wouldn't buy here with monopoly money' B: 'If something comes on the MLS in this neighborhood I would offer site unseen! '

    @Landon Mehlhoff - I hope you are well. Input any address into Trulia and it will display a "Crime Map" which may display the info you seek or you may get it straight from the CSPD here: http://communitycrimemap.com/. 

    You will not find the (very subjective) information in the MLS if for no other reason, licensing laws prohibit it.

    All the best!
