No Trespassing Signs

[Leonard Rybak]

Hi Guys,

   I am looking for a property to buy in Salisbury, MD.  I decided to go on street view of an address I was interested in.  Every single house on that street has either a "Private Property" or a "No Trespassing" sign in its windows or front door.  Is this a very obvious warning not to purchase a rental on that block due to high crime rates/burglaries/home invasions?  Or am I flawed in my thinking?

That sounds like a red flag to me! I would do a search of crime demographics using tools like this: https://crimegrade.org/safest-...

I think it's important to consider the overall crime for the state, then the county/city, then the specific neighborhood. What someone considers safe in Maryland may differ dramatically from what is considered safe in Cody, Wyoming.
