I filed for an eviction on him because 1. he was local, 2. it's cheap to do in my county, 3. since the notice was going to the last known address (my rental) he wouldn't respond to it anyway and I'd get the judgment without going in front of a court and 4. the judgment would remain on his credit history for the next 7 years.Ironically about a year later this guy shows up in the hospital with newly diagnosed diabetes. 

Keep it all formal and be patient.

Be patient and do not over estimate the repairs needed or the rehab costs.  

Work with realtors wholesalers and be patient.

Good luck, be patient and persistent.

Take your time and be patient.  

Be wise and patient starting off and soak up as much knowledge as possible.

You might have to be patient, smart and creative, but opportunities are out there.

@Nazimcan Suvag Sorry it didn't end like you wanted but now you know that there are deals out there, it's just a matter of staying patient.

Property prices are a bit elevated considering the low average income, so we're having to be picky and patient, and the banks aren't as willing to budge on the bank owned ones.
