Ok so the most important numbers you need to figure out are:

1. ARV = What will the property sell for after rehab

2. Rehab estimate = What's the scope of work and how much will that cost

3. Investor margins = what kind of return % do flippers in your area look for in a deal?

If you know those numbers fairly accurately, you can figure out if a deal is possible or not. You're welcome to message me the address and we can figure out the ARV.
