That's not even factoring in the large numbers of persons with violent felonies and drug histories that would be "challenged" in finding employment in any situation.Now there are these things called renaissance zones, or at least there were when I lived in Metro Detroit.

I use the same type of requirements stated above, but I have added that applicants must agree that there will be no smoking on the property, and applicants may not have violent felony or drug convictions.I also added 'rule out' requirements that disqualify applicants.One rule out is if they make an appointment to view the property and do not show up or cancel the viewing two times. 

I've seen hotter summers and more violent storms in Houston and a few years in a row of very mild winters in Maine.

Some have been violent drug dealers who commit arson and prostitute their children, and moved out because they were running from other drug dealers. 

We are now VIOLENTLY non-smoker and wish we would have done this years ago. 

One of the worlds top experts on infinite banking.I’ve done a regular whole life policy & it’s now aged & primed to borrow low rate policy loans against it.I’m not doing more personally as I got attacked with a $500k+ debt bomb a couple years ago that was not in my control right as we are facing a violent economic storm & dollar currency collapse.I recommend people move assets they don’t want to lose & grow into silver & crypto!

In 2005 (when everyone can get a mortgage), class A rents and occupancy were dismal because their tenant base were buying homes"D" and "F" areas are way tougher than "C" and even though I made money in D and F, I don't recommend them for the newbie investor.For perspective, here's how I would classify the areas:A - upper middle class/ income way above median/ very low crime/ best schoolsB - middle class/income slightly above median to median/ low crime/ good schoolsC - lower middle class/median to slightly below median income/median crime/ok schoolsD - lower income/high crime/one house every other block is boarded upF - lower income/90% of violent crimes happen here/ every other house is boarded up

I’m of the opinion that collective modest cash flow that fluctuates violently across different investments is acceptable, if not more desirable, if it allows for more opportunities within appreciating markets.  

@Wendy StclairI use a software called rentfaxpro it gives violent crime rates, school test results, income and education levels etc.

High violent crime.
