Duplex in Galesburg, IL

[Kim Herrick]

I am looking at a duplex on E. Knox Street in Galesburg,IL. Does anyone out there have any feedback on this area or owning rental properties in general in Galesburg? Is this a part of town that will be more difficult to manage tenants? Is there a part of town that is better for rentals? 

Anyone with any experience in the Galesburg area your feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. This could potentially be my first rental property and I would hate make a huge mistake. 

Thank you!
