It's quite simple really. Avoid high tension power lines, main busy streets, flying lead, homeless people, pawn shop neighborhoods, train tracks, garbage dumps, factories, airport flight paths, sink holes, mud slides, beef rendering plants, streets with broken windows and broken street lights, drug dealers and girls that work the streets.

Why do you ask? 

 I have bought properties with all of these in place. And still made money. The biggest mistake you should avoid is over paying for a property.
