Not so bad on Wall street.

Well, OK 100 miles from STL, so not that bad, I guess.I don't think that particular place is unique.

Either way there are still a hundred different things on top of just looking at the ROI that factor into what makes a deal good or bad for you.

The bad of course is that you are dealing with low low income tenants and neighborhoods which can be risky.Is there any books or web info related to Section 8 that is of value?

But until that day, its a bad debt you're unlikely to collect.

When your prospective tenant warns you that they think they have bad credit and after running their report you call them to see if they want to be a credit partner.

Some are relatively safe, and in some they set you on fire when they mug you, board the buses like Jesse James and rob every one on board, and there are places where gangs will take control of an entire apartment builing and hold it while they rob everyone in the building.You need to know the good areas from the bad and you need to know real estate law before you start putting your money there.I also suggest that you check into inheritance law if you are going to be a family unit.
