to make it simple this is my data:-monthly income: $4000+over time every check/work m-s, 4am-3pm+-2years in the same job.

Are there expenses you can cut now like cable, data plans on phones, etc to preserve your cash?  

Account ClosedMaking a data-oriented case for a market is always a good idea.

Cash flow is my goal, and I am looking to Memphis because I have a good friend who lives in English Town, I asked his help in identifying the good areas with zip codes. hope to connect and explore this market.

There are lots of good ideas there.2 - Have you explored the local REIAs?

When I walked through I had to teach him how to be ready with a renovation plan and a detailed scope, which he didnt have, so each bid was what ever these cl hacks wanted to convince him to do, I instructed that market data and ROI rule all decisions, first figure out your selling competition and what the final product must be than the road there is self explanatory, so I fixed his scope.

So I'm going to start driving and exploring other ways to find them but would appreciate some advice.How old is too old if a building is well kept up?

The other route that I've explored a bit more is to take on an investor as an equity partner.  

You will need a local broker or appraiser to assist in finding that data, unless you have access to CoStar, Axiometrics or REIS Reports.
