Driving around I came across a few properties with online auction signs not active on the MLS. 

Any strategies, don't have much gas to drive for dollars much less drive to those counties.

Point being, you're right to make sure the numbers pass the smell test.  

I did pretty well with multifamily homes within 10 mins drive to the beach.

Get the RE exam book from the library and take the tests in the back, and see what your pass rate is.

One thing I would advise is renting a car and spending your last day driving back through the area for a second glance and driving up and down several streets.  

If you're only finding deals that your buyers want, you don't have to "test the waters" first to see if they'd be interested...you can go ahead and get it under contract immediately because you already know you'll have someone to buy it. 

He of course came back to sabotage my roof my driving long nails into it creating a leak that damage drywall.

With the Medicaid aspect, we'll need to get an inspection/appraisal to get creative to drive the price down low enough, but I think it can be done.With a bit of remodeling and repairs, I think it would raise the value to around $140k as that is what the other houses in the neighborhood are selling for or more.
