You can find several investor-friendly markets like this in the Midwest and Sunbelt states. 

But at a $1.5M asking price, as long as you don't have to spend more than $300k in rehab (without raising rents), this is a slam dunk deal that should easily be financed  at 75% LTV by a "investment real estate-friendly" bank/credit union that is located fairly close to the properties.

I was referred by a rather large investor friend of mine to them.

The best advice I can give to you is to start building relationships with investor-friendly agents and another investor who can guide you in the right direction.
