We look @ neighborhood & crime statistics, down to the block if we can get it, to determine if we'll invest on a specific street.

I was wondering though, do you take into consideration the crime rate of a neighborhood, schools and other statistics into consideration or do you just go with the deal if it is good?

Statistics do not lie.
