Single Family: Potential First deal Wholesale or Rent and Hold
She's not a looker and its not the best neighborhood from a crime perspective, however, the location is pretty amazing as its right by the thruway and surrounded by a couple of parks / water:

Its been on the market a while and there has been a few price drops. It has drop ceilings which I'm not crazy about, but it's also a 3 bed 2 bath sitting on 4,042 sq feet of what I would think would be choice land. It may have foundation problems as there is no basement (its underground). Will need a roof soonish I would guess. I talked to the tenant directly and the mortgage estimate is $350 while he is currently paying $850/mo for rent. He said that the house is settling and that the floors arent exactly level but thats the only problem hes had with the house.
As I am new, I am opening it up here to see how I could make this a good deal, if at all. The location is so good that it makes me think this is a great deal, but the property itself gives me pause.
Any insight / comments you guys have would be appreciated as I am far from being versed at what to look for and could use another person's opinion.
Thanks BP!
