There have been 263 murders in the city this year, there's only 600k people in the city.  

I was thinking of Wilmington but during my research of the area, I noticed an FBI survey stating that Wilmington is ranked no. 3 for most murders.

I was able to get my first property with out much issue, but figuring out how to get more is somewhat of a mystery to me, so  I would like to collaborate and be of service and learn as much as possible. 

The difference being instead of looking at a lot of murders, armed robberies, rape. etc. those are more minimal to non-existent in quality areas.Instead you get some domestic disturbance and petty type crimes more than the serious ones .

The number of murders alone will scare off any good tenants / buyers. 

So, I am learning patience:-)I guess the unsolved mystery for me is buying my first investment property as a current homeowner.

for 15k a door. .he was giddy of what a great deal he got... spent about 10k a door getting the units back to rent able condition putting in a new hoop and BBQ area.. well within first 30 days hoop is destroyed BBQ are stolen he had one murder and a bunch of other violent crime he thought we would sell at a 15 cap and make about 500k on the deal.. he ended up selling and losing 400k... all in 18 months place ended up boarded again.. these areas are only appropriate for those that FUlly understand the market the tenant and how to run these areas.. an investor buying a SFR if its in the wrong area will just throw their money away.. you need to buy quality.. if you do you can a good day.. although be aware values do not rise there. 

Quote from @Eliott Elias: You don't have to disclose the death if the property itself didn't cause it  In Texas one needs to disclose if a murder occurred on the propertyAdditionally, different states have different requirements. 

Investors far and wide have pondered what this mysterious term refers to and how it can be utilized in putting a quality deal together.

(most mid western feel of the Big 4 MSA's--a nice place with the Alamo and a great River Walk)These are the four MSA's most people think about when investing in Texas.Also, it's not wise to buy in an area without doing a "Boots on the ground" and knowing about it.Watch out for the real bad crimes, like Rape, Murders, and car jackings.
