Investing in lower class areas?

Peter Fogden

Hey guys! 

Wanted to ask the community's opinions on investing in bad, lower class areas? 

The property in question is in a rather shady area in South Africa, so I believe crime would be an issue. I am also worried about tenants not paying rent etc? 

Do any of you have experience in this type of residential investment?
