Starting investors with low capital are often attracted to these high crime areas because of cheap prices.It's a way to get started for many.Those with lots of money already avoid the headache for the perceived extra yield etc.So it's likely to find buyers for any type of real estate asset bad area or not if the price is cheap enough.
