I too am a fan of looking for diamonds in my own back yard.For starters, why would I live in an area that is not a good investment, has a sinking economy, lacks job growth and opportunity, etc.  

In short, ensure your agent can advise you on the 'path of progress' so that you find the diamonds on the rough and dodge the dogs.

I recommend continuing to keep an eye on Orlando in case a “diamond in the rough” property comes your way, but also expanding your search to surrounding counties.

However, still finding some diamonds in the rough but you have to do a lot of digging.

With such limited properties the goal is to find the diamond in the rough, not all properties that have high days on market are bad and just may be overlooked.
