@Stanley H. You may want to have someone do boots on ground there, but I have a different opinion. It isn't a "bad" neighborhood in terms of crime and abandoned/boarded homes; it is probably a solidly blue collar neighborhood supplying the airport and surrounding businesses with employees. Not a good neighborhood for equity appreciation but predominantly 4-sides brick homes built in the 1960s that will rent quickly with positive cash flow.

Look it up on Google and then look on Google maps to see the average value of the surrounding properties. make sure the property you are looking to buy is below the average property value enough to ensure a nice profit.
