need a little help figuring this out as i am still new. let me know if i forgot to consider something. These are just some raw numbers, so if someone could help me make a little more sense of them that would be great!!
Location: Awesome, right in front of ivy league collage gates
Cost:65k
Rehab for rental: 50k ( it is a mess and needs a lot of work,but after this all major repairs will be done)
Rents for: $1200-$1500 month
Property taxes: $2800/year
Probably pay cash at first and later refiance out.

That's a little higher then what I would feel comfortable with, but its close. I would say if you could get either rehab or purchase price lower(20 percent?). Its easier to get a lower purchase price than renting out for a higher amount to offset costs :)

That depends. How much will this property worth after rehabbed? How is its location? How is its school district? What's the likelihood for future appreciation? So property tax is around 4% for the property? It's just not enough information to evaluate this property.

it will be worth 150-160k after rehabbed, it is a very good location for renting ,a good college town,and considered a prestigious area. it would be a good rental. Elementary/high schools are average.
If we got it for 40k would that make it a much better deal? I am curious because I know we can get it for close to 40k but I have been considering wholesaling it for 60kish if it is a good deal for the end buyer. I don't want to have a rap as a bad wholesaler if its not a good deal.We were going to flip or use it as a rental before I considered wholesaling it. Thanks!

From the basic numbers it seems to fit a flipping strategy better than a hold strategy.
My math:
1200*.5=600 (50% rule)
600*12=7200
7200/115,000(total cost)= .062 or a 6.2% cap rate
Not the greatest for building a buy and hold portfolio. Also on the whole selling side of the deal the person you possibly would whole sell it too has to make money. Pulling 60k out of the deal would not work.

If you flip it for 150-160k and the ARV is 115k you're profit is somewhere in the difference. Imagine how long it would take to make that profit from a rental. Now imagine how much money you would make flipping that and leveraging the profit into several rentals. I hope it works out for you!

I may have misunderstood the above. I had interpreted it as your assignment fee being 60k. If the total cost of the property was 40k purchase + 20k assignment+ 50k rehab= 110k you may be able to find an assignee for it. However if I were you I would be fully prepared to close on it yourself.
