Investing in Detroit

I've been investing in Michigan for a few years, but haven't ventured into Detroit until now. I've got some leads on nice houses, but I don't know the neighborhoods. I understand Detroit has a checkered history with bad areas, but I don't know what the recommended areas for rental properties are right now. Is there anywhere I should avoid? What are the best markets for SFRs that I should be looking at?

@Carolyn Guertin investing in Detroit should be done on a block-by-block basis.

That's actually difficult to do, so we ranked 104 of Detroit's Neighborhoods on our site as Class A, B, C or D to help investors make better decisions and NOT get ripped off.

NEVER try to invest in Detroit using zip codes! Too big an area.
