A second set of eyes on a duplex in Memphis

I am considering a duplex in Memphis, this would be my first flip/buy and hold. Would someone mind taking a quick look and offering their opinion on the deal?

The property is $89k, the repair estimate is $12k. The expected ARV is $140k. Ideally, I would fix it, get it rented out, and then flip it. The worst case scenario is me buying it, fixing it, and holding it as a rental. I have some cash to put in the deal from my HELOC and I already have 1 hard money lender ready to finance the purchase, but his interest rate, 11%, makes the absolute worst case scenario a little thin. My cashflow would be about $90/mo. I've already reached out to a few different lenders and will continue to over the next couple of days.

Just a gut check, do these numbers seem reasonable? Does this seem like a good deal to anyone else?

Thanks in advance for your help/opinion/advice.

Ben
