a formal written offer if you're throwing out a low-ball.

If they are causing damage, breaking rules, performing illegal actions, etc. that will define what exact action steps you can take to get the eviction ball rolling

I'm looking to buy 3-5 to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

When I'm ready to "jump in", I will have about 100K to get the ball rolling.

I would have said start with Zillow, but in your case I would steer you clear of Zillow, since you would not know if you are in the ball park or not with the given property. 

Similar to Oakland, the ball is often in the tenants' court.

Path#2 I have been entertaining the idea of joining an Investors network, to become a member they have a fee of a $5000, but this will allow me to use their hard ball lending at 0% interest 12-24 months (depending on credit).
