I would say if you don't know the area, you should check the eviction database for that street to see how often evictions occur, you should check crime on neighborhood scout or some other site, and you should drive by the property late at night and see whether you would feel safe getting out of the car.  

The increase wealth occurs because my portfolio yields a current income of about 11% as a mixture of notes and real properties ( a majority of which are held in syndications), and this is not needed to live on.
