Deal or No Deal

[Wayne Grogan]

Found a 4/2 duplex , 1466 sqft for $12k and around $10k (seller says $6k) rehab needed. Comps are between $58 and $67k. Problems? This would be my first. Is not local to me. The seller is wholesaler as well.
I've only seen one exterior photo of the place. Brick exterior and yard overgrown, but looks pretty decent. Seller said he would send me more photos, but said my email wouldn't accept them. (?)
Is this something I should get involved in?
Could I turn a profit on this as a "virtual wholesale"?
