@Adam Philpot - Neighborhood Scout is pretty good too.

Are you looking in any neighborhoods specifically?

The questions I have:How solid is this neighborhood?

I want to start with my first deal out of state, but I've been looking a lot of houses and neighborhoods but the ones I qualified with a conventional loan has to be livable, so I can't buy something that I can gain equity by fixing it up, so I can't meet at least the 1 % rule, max is 0.7% should I buy or what to do??
