Found this property through our local online foreclosure auction site.

I've done it multiple times on primary residence and was just able to do it on an investment with a local CT bank. 

I recommend reviewing your local laws to understand the requirements involved.

Have you tried attending your local REIA's and real estate meet-up groups?

I'd suggest checking local Airbnb/VRBO data or using AirDNA to see occupancy rates and average nightly rates in the area.

Their goal is to eliminated group homes, half way houses etc, even STR, so check out the local zoning as well. 

I think will find that out-of-state will be much more operationally challenged than local.

My name is Chad, I am a renovation construction PM professionally, currently starting a search to find/ invest in some Indianapolis and local area fix and flip projects.

I would recommend finding some local meetups to attend, and also tuning into the Straight Up Chicago Investor's Podcast.

The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of.The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world… however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough.
