Renting in underserved communities

Hi all,

I'm a first time investor looking to buy a rental property in Chicago. There are listings I've seen in poorer neighborhoods that are affordable, with a very good NOI.

Before considering, I'd like to hear some of your stories when dealing with section 8, or renting out of these neighborhoods in general. Anything good? Bad? In-between?

Thanks,

- Ray
