Driving For Dollars

[Genita Dejean]

I recently went driving for dollars in a low income neighborhood like they say to do. I found a few vacant properties but I would like to know how bad off is too bad and what does the neighborhood have to be like?  I know they say the worse off the better but how true is that? Although the neighborhood seemed quiet, most of the houses in this neighborhood were run down.  There were 3 houses in a row that looked really bad off to me and were very small.  Any suggestions, I'm looking for my first deal. Any advice would truly help. Thanks everyone!
