flipping in a questionable neighborhood

[Matt B.]

Moments ago, I just found a great fix and flip opportunity (ARV should be about 3x the current sales price). However it's in a questionable neighborhood - or one that I know little about.

When choosing an investment property, how much do outside variables weigh in on your decision? Things like, neighborhood, quality of the schools, etc

Curious, because I hear about some people do a lot in very run down neighborhoods. Just looking for some outside input.
