I never said you can't make money buying entry level single family homes in the Midwest or any market for that matter....but the investors who are most inclined to succeed are the hands on operators, not the passive investors or those paying retail price for a turn key in a lower tier neighborhood with no barriers of entry.

Or better said, they are vastly inferior to single family properties.- With $100K, you have a lot of options. 

I have a tenant occupied single in Allentown for sale.

Single family usually doesn't make much sense from a rent/price ratio in A-B areas unless you are doing a rehab.

I negotiate at 70% ARV so the deals I bring are solid and I'd love to work with one single corporate cash buyer that is able to close  on several deals a month.

Petersburg area, resulting in highly–profitable investments.If you need professional and courteous property management experts for your multifamily, single family, condominiums or town home, you've found the right company!

There is no single website to easily find them (that I'm aware of) and if there was, I'd imagine you'd be competing with 1000s of other investors.  

Eventually I want to get into single family and multi family rentals.As far as effort or work on the fixers;  my brother in law is quite handy and my next door neighbor has said he would help in anything that is out of my scope of expertise.
