We've been consolidating our properties closer to our home location. 

He told me that the house is pretty far gone and needs about $110K rehab on a $90k purchase(I spoke with the seller after our walk through and offered her $90K, she verbally accepted and is going to come up to the house location this weekend.) 

The house is located right above I696. 

The fee may be levied at a maximum rate of 2% based on the income of residents and profits of businesses located within the boundaries of the Jerome Village Community Authority each as further defined in the Declaration.

Location matters a great deal.

From my experience, properties in Flood Zone A aren't always dealbreakers, especially when they're in desirable locations like lakefronts.

If you rehab a house in one of the neighborhoods you're considering will it be surrounded by other abandoned distressed properties or are these abandoned properties located in decent neighborhoods that people will want to live? 

Sounds like I should open a location there, I would make a KILLING!

Here’s how to take it further:Follow up consistently - If someone responds, follow up every few weeks to see if they have new deals that fit your criteria.Be specific - Clearly outline your preferred property type, location, condition, and price range to make it easier for wholesalers to keep you in mind.Build relationships - Try setting up a phone call instead of just texting.

I'm in Chicago and was just curious where your 4-flat is located here?
