Assuming you have access to MLS (Multiple Listing Service, a place for agents to list deals).1) Look for deals that look like investor-type of deals (e.g. low purchase price, ugly houses, or sometimes MLS will even say what type of financing it is)2) If the buyer's info is there, voila.  3) Otherwise, contact the realtor to look for leads (that will be more of a uphill battle, but you never know...)

The Commercial Loan Officer I am working with comes up with a Loan Amount of $336,000 (Total value is $448,000) because of the low rents.

Foundation issues as others have said would be red flag for us . . . often the estimates are low and unexpected overages can sink a flip (holding costs will eat you alive). 

There is some great options out there that have low vacancy but you have to be careful which property and area you choose.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @James Wise "Do normal due diligence like appraisal and inspection and you're risk exposure is fairly low.

That's 1.56%.The reason the debt number is so low is because I need the principal and interest to be low enough to achieve my profit and operating cost goals.

Assuming numbers + deal checks out, can do 30 yr fixed in low-mid 8's, at best on alternative side.

and low maintenance beat the wear-and-tear headaches of big properties.

The competition is so fierce that it drives the interest rates too low.

. +/- 50$Current rents are 1000 per side which they say is low because it's paid off for my family member They say market rent is easily 1200 per side I would likely inherit a tenant on one side at 1000/mo , older retired single guy So if I house hacking and pay 1200 and raise their side to 1200 it's would cash flow about 150$ not including maintenance so.
