Just run your numbers well and make sure you are in an area without prohibitions in place. 

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

For your situation, it sounds like a seller financing purchase could be a good fit as well but this would also have limited options and the terms wouldnt likely be great.

Well done, Brian!  

.: I haven't passed this past legal review so for what its worth: Part of my standard requirements for everyone include income is at least 3X rent, minimum credit score, say 640, Clean record and no evictions as well as deposit is paid in full at signing of lease and 1st month rent is paid in full prior to handing over the keys.

That they don't service their loans well, lag on draws, say they can close fast but don't etc etc.

There are many who will argue my methods and that's fine, it's worked very well for me and has been extremely rewarding in ways that cannot be compensated monetarily. 

I cannot speak to the quality of the coaches but the sales staff seamed well trained.

I connected well with him.

If he gets the whole commission for the unrepresentated buyer, you might as well get an agent for yourself.
