Hopefully 2na will pop in here and comment...
Having lived in a few apartments that had a fair portion of "Reduced Rent" units, I wouldn't want the people I was living around to be anywhere near property I owned. No respect for the people around them, lots of damage to their apartment and, like FishermanTim mentioned, about 6-8 "relatives" often living in the same 2 bedroom apartment.
You'll never be able to cull out all the incompetent pieces of trash but I'd think that a thorough background and credit check should give you a good idea of whom you're renting to.
