I’ve had concerns about the crime rates so I’m trying to only buy in the better sides of town.

I am a resident physician in dermatology, during  medical school I bought a property in Denver with an Interest rate of 2.75% (COVID rates lol) with the goals of renting it out when I moved onto the residency.
