I’ve check comps homes are selling around 20-45k around the neighborhood rent going from 750-900.

I am just looking for a good starting place to begin researching specific neighborhoods/options/realtors.

I would call the area a B neighborhood. 

Morris recommends buying a house worth ~$50k after renovations, in a C-class neighborhood, since these will have the best cashflow.

It is one of the last lots in a neighborhood development finished in 2013.

Four houses in my neighborhood sold from facebook or word of mouth .

Here is the property:  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/545-6th-St_West-Des-Moines_IA_50265_M86748-68205 it's in a nice neighborhood with a school nearby.

It is in a neighborhood of single family and duplexes.

If you can find the one, they could also help you with things like: "that neighborhood doesn't attract the right sort of tenants"; "sorry, I won't manage properties in that area"; "I reckon you could get a better rent return if you choose this other neighborhood" - and such like.
