Section8 in North and South Memphis?

Hey guys!

I am under contract for 3 properties, however there is one thing about it, one of them, its located in South Memphis zip 38109 (Mallory area).

I know I know I live in Memphis, I know that the area is bad, however I am feeling that the market it pushing investors towards the hoods of memphis because it is getting expensive (even Frayser is getting crazy expensive which I find crazy), I did a few visits in that specific neighborhood and I honestly didn't feel it was really really bad as the rest of South Memphis, I am really not worried about tenants paying on time in my rentals because I always focus on Section8.

Was wondering what are peoples insight in regards to investing in those areas with section8 tenants? Would love to hear someone experienced enough with section8 in the bad hoods to give some opinion? 

TIA
