Huntington Rd area flipping

[Amy E.]

I'm from Georgia but have a friend of a friend who is in the rehab business.  He wants to flip a property together and one of the properties is on Huntington rd just south of a school.  I am not at all familiar with the area, but it seems to be mostly lower income rentals.  Are investors buying these or is there a market for them?   In my area lower income rentals sell well but not in neighborhoods with nothing but rentals.  Is this Detroit neighborhood similar (this isnt a good flip neighborhood) or is there actually a market for this type of housing?
