I would look up the city's development site and see where new development or public dollars are going.Once you get that info, find about 10 neighborhoods, go out and drive them and reduce the number down to about 2-4.

Alerts for "Kissimmee" or any other city you want would be great.

However prices vary from state to state and even city to city, so I would get a few bids. 

The $60-70k rehab estimate seems high as I'm shopping for an Inglewood condo and some of the worst 2bed 2baths in the city wouldn't require over $20k in repairs/upgrades. 

you snooze you loose. and some markets are much hotter than others.Like Vegas right now is super hot.Portlandia is strong but inventory stands still for a month or so.. but a smokin great deal in almost any city is gone in hours.

They stole electricity from the city. 

@Kenneth Bedwell I don't see why Buffalo would be different than any other city.

You can start with the city assessors office.

Hi, my name is Derick Brown Jr.I am a REI currently located in the quad cities Are there any investors here who would be open minded to networking some time soon over a phone call?

I suspect there are many homes in your city with no air conditioning, so going a day without is hardly inhumane.
