Does this make sense to you?

I went driving for dollars, found a FSBO sign and called up the owner. I wanted to see if the house he was selling was going to be worth my time to invest in. We both came to the conclusion that it wasn't, he was asking full price (260K) and just didnt make sense.

HOWEVER, he said he had another property he just got 3 months back. He is also a real estate investor he said for quite some time. He offered me to view the property this Tuesday. He bought property for 150K, it is a 3 Bed and 2 Bathroom house. He wants to make at least 30K on the house. He said he hasn't fixed anything up just yet because he has other things going on right now. He is also a real estate agent and just off of his words, he said the house's ARV is 250K. He wants to sell it to me or if I won't take it he said he might just hold it till spring when he can get more money out of it.

He wants 30K like I mentioned plus for me to pay the closing costs. So all together 180K + closing costs. 

Given that his calculation is correct that the ARV is 250K would this make for a good fix and flip project?
