You could invest in property in a super safe neighborhood in an otherwise dodgy city or a rough neighborhood in a city with a low crime rate. If you’ve narrowed down your search to a couple of cities, my next step would be to pick a good neighborhood.

I agree with S, that percentage is reasonable.

If you could get property near UT, great.

Just curious, do you plan to rennovate/flip or rent out the properties? By your description, St Louis sounds like it might be ripe for some section 8 investments.

If you decide to take it, I’d be interested to hear your take as well. Hope you do a follow-up report!
