I landed one today near Oak Park.

& Oak St. as possible.

Look into cherry log, mineral bluff, and Morganton 

I would have told her the items were legally "abandoned" and that they would be disposed of if she didn't retrieve them within 24 hours.That may not be legal, but you can always bluff and then back down if she pushes back.

The ratio between new construction prices vs rental rates in Central Florida is healthy in the targeted areas (Marion Oaks, Villages, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview) and the goal would be to find a 1% rule deal i.e buy a Duplex for 300k and have it rent for at least $3,000 a month.

@Kwaku Farkye   I have had success in Oak Park

The Agent is Susan K. at Golden Oaks. 

Instead of a two hour drive it's a two hour flight, but median home price is down around $270k or so making it quite affordable.For Sacramento Neighborhoods, here's where I would drive around for the nicer areas:Tahoe ParkNorthern Oak ParkCurtis ParkLand ParkMidtown / DowntownEast SacramentoFair OaksCarmichaelSouth NatomasThere's more to see, but that's a decent start to begin with.

We own a house that falls into your 3rd category near the edge of Sacramento and Rancho Cordova, a duplex in Fair Oaks, and a triplex in Roseville.

Here is a standard for 900-1200 sqft row homes in Philly depending on the neighborhood and assuming nothing is wrong with the foundation:South Philly/West Philly West of 52nd Street: 75-85k (contingent upon underpinning basement which is big expense)-Complete gut, redo electric and plumbing, dig the basement, redo everything, Central AC, turn a 3/1 into a 3/2 or 2/2 w/ a master suite higher-end finishes, touch facade.Germantown Close to Germantown Ave/ Cobbs Creek/ West Oak Lane Close to Cheltenham / Better pockets of Olney: 60-70k-same as above but you do not necessarily have to underpin the basement.
