Harris is on the border of Jefferson park, so it does put you at the front lines of East Point's crime, much of which emanates from the high school across the street from the property you are looking at.  

I think that some or even a lot of investors at 1 point or another probably tell themselves 'JUST BUY SOMETHING' in part just to finally get into investing - the hope/speculation/risk they are taking on is that the appreciation of the property is going to bail them out of any -ve or break even cash flow situation...As for me, i am in the NW burbs of Chicago (10 mins from border to WI) and have not started investing yet as i am wanting to read/learn a lot first and come up with a plan.

Beware of Greater Cincinnati Water Works - the water rates on the quarterly bill aren't so bad, but the sewer rates are bordering on highway robbery.
