Deal found needs repair

[Vaughn Cruz]

I have a out of state deal found, everything checks out. Its in a great neighborhood next to good schools and a few blocks from a small downtown area.  The property is a duplex from 1857, I know it needs a roof and cosmetic work on the out side.  I can get the property for around 30,000.00 similar properties fixed up around area are averaging 250,000.00.  I have no Idea if the actual structure,plumbing and electrical are good.  I dont want to wait and miss this deal but would like to get a contractor or two in there to tell me what I need done.  Should I just jump on the deal at this price point and figure the rest out later or get someone to take a look and potentially miss deal?
