Areas to stay away from in Akron?
My business partner and I are looking at buying a property in Akron, OH, but we aren't intimately familiar with the city yet (we both live in Florida).
Other than virtually driving around on Google Maps Street View, does anyone have any suggestions on how to analyze specific areas and neighborhoods?
Our goal is to invest more outside of Florida, so we're open to general advice that will help us analyze other cities and states as well.
