Let's make a Deal or Don't?

Before I take the plunge, tell me if you'd invest in this property for buy & hold. I'm in the DFW area. I have an opportunity to purchase a home in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas for 50k.  Foundation appear to be great while walking through and roof  is about 3-4 years old. . The house is in an estate which they are wanting to sell to settle debts of deceased parent.  House has been sitting empty for a few years. Appears to need mostly cosmetic stuff. Painting, new flooring and updating n kitchen, updating all around. It was built in 1939. I guesstimate rehab should be about 10-15k. It's an old tudor style home near the Dallas Zoo, 5 minutes from Downtown and I think I could probably get $900+ or better for rent. My biggest concern is annual property taxes  are about $1500 year according to DCAD and insurance may be about the same.   There's a lot of changes going on near this area. Bishop Arts, Deck Park & Bullet Train (maybe).  Comps near this  property that have been fully rehabbed have sold for up to 180K. There's one next street over that is currently on the market for $220k.  I'm not good with the 1%, 2% stuff so help me out with the numbers. Thinking of paying cash & getting $ out after seasoning.  Deal or Don't?
