These sites may help you identify where you yourself want to be, since everyone has different wants/needs/goals. http://www.city-data.com/city/Philadelphia-Pennsylvania.html (The site breaks its info down by zip code)http://data.inquirer.com/crime/Hope this helps! 

Such as code enforcement, probate, tax delinquent, etc.

All items from IRR, to plans, to any utility upgraded you will be responsible for to meet the CURRENT "CODE" for all trades , dirty work aside from demo, drainage is ALWAYS a major concern and will require engendering, will you have to install and or improve of site land or hardscape, disability access requirements, and a number of other factors.....

Hi Dustin, I invest in zip codes nearby but live inside 610 loop and work 50-60 hrs/wk like you.

Code enforcement?

Make sure everything is safe and up to code (electrical, smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, etc.).

I've been trying to login to the BiggerPockets website on my laptop and it keep asking me to long in again time after time so is the website acting up or is it just my laptop ?

What is an IRC code?

I am a Futures Trader using a laptop, so, I can relate RE Investing to something like Buying a Stock to hold for a long period of time and Hope and Pray that it will eventually go Up in Value and make me some Money.

Not the best of areas, but the home seems to sit in a decent part of that particular zip code.
