Drive to Silicon Valley ( two hours driving a day ) , work till 7:00 or so, go home and crash. 

There certain areas in town that you can have that return but you have to buy really deep and not been afraid of rehabs

There are also multiple universities that drive rental demand.

Get in your car on weekends and go drive some of the places like Nazareth, Hellertown, even Wind Gap isn't terribly far.

you will find tons of examples, poor signage, little security, worn paint, no one answers the phone, etc. start on google maps, street view, then start driving. you'll know it when you see it.Public Storage/Extra Space Storage it aint!

Also, don’t hesitate to dive deep into the numbers on each property.
