What do you think about these deals?

Good afternoon,

I am a new investor and would like opinions about these 2 deals. I understand that at the current listed/asking price this doesn't seem like a good/great deal. Thanks in advance.

(paying utilities for the tenants cuts into monthly cash flow). Can adding meters to each unit improve things over time? Should I offer lower? Asking $291k. What number should I be aiming for to make this worth it?

(some repairs will be needed). What is a good amount to offer to make this worth it with about $10,000 to $15,000 in repairs? Current asking is $275k.
