While I don't do rentals myself, my brother-in-law does... I can tell you that I would avoid the really bad areas. It may be attractive to get housing that's really cheap, but it's not worth the headache. He had 20+ rental properties in Section 8 areas and it ended up being a nightmare... Plumbing and appliances were getting stolen, it was hard to get rent on time, and there were constant issues... He ended up just selling most of those houses.
