Relocating to North Carolina, what cities do we steer clear of?

[Nick Duchemin]

Hey everyone, my wife and I are moving to North Carolina in the next few months from MA. Based on our research, the numbers for properties in the “triad” area - Greensboro, high point, Winston-Salem - look like they would work well as rentals in case we had to rent them out instead of staying. Are there areas around there that should be avoided or have unusually high crime or generally bad tenant experiences with anyone? Anything helps, thank you!
