Figure out how to find properties by parcel number and lot/block #. 

I am currently in the 10 day inspection period on my first rental property and have found that the roof has three layers, which is troublesome for insurance reasons and the foundation (block with crawl space) is starting to lean out. 

There are abandoned looking properties out there that, according to the tax assessor, are worth more than newly renovated homes on the same block.   

I just bought one in that neighborhood few blocks over on 128th.  

Like ripping a band-aid off, it'll be painful but you're getting it over with and setting yourself up for the future. 

Based on the number of investors we know, and the market we have seen for HUD properties in Florida, we set up a "bidding machine" for investors that specifically targets HUD properties.We send weekly spreadsheets of "regions" grouped by counties.We have customized spreadsheets for each investor that tracks progress.We treat this as an actual business silo that our investor clients love, because all the heavy lifting is done.As a Real Estate Brokerage you need to:Define an opportunityDifferentiate yourself from every other competitor out thereMake it simple for your clients to do business with youShare their pain AND their joyDo whatever you can to continue to make your relationship a win/win environmentToday was an example of this strategy as we won three homes for three separate investors, and all of them are thrilled.

I live in the UC area few blocks off of Penn's campus. 

I usually stop by once a month to get mail and sometimes collect rent but I actually live a few block from the property I was planning to stop by today.

Just recently closed on a short sale for $140K (ARV $210-$215K) and got it rented in 12 days.As @Patti Robertson mentioned, Norfolk is really good for rental property...but I'd stay away from the historical districts...too much of pain in the know what with renovations.
