Finding Properties that are Distressed $15,000+ in repairs needed

Good Evening:

How do you go about finding Properties that are Distressed ( not properties listed on HUD or HomePath ...... as these properties Never seem to need that much work done to them ) I am looking for properties that I can pick up for around $30,000 - $40,000 and that need $15,000 + worth of Work done to them And who's ARV would be in the $100,000 - $125,000 range I have the Cash at hand to Be All-In on my end of things , at around $80,000 - $90,000 But I don't want to have all of my Cash tied up into one Deal, But I also want to make sure than I can Flip these Properties rather Quickly , by being able to offer them at a Purchase Price at roughly 10% BELOW the current Market's Value on Similar Properties with the same comps, and that are within a 5 Mile Radius of the Properties that I fix N Flip Is a Driving For Dollars approach most Likely my best Bet to find these " Severe " Distressed Properties ( Not so Severe though, that they have Structural or Foundation Issues ). Not Looking to get into something with that extensive of Damage/Needed Repairs, UNLESS I guess I got it for an Insane Deal. Thanks for any Tips and or Advice in Locating Such Properties I'm in the Memphis,TN / Desoto County.MS area if this helps at all
