I go months without ever calling them, then when something does come up, it usually costs 50to $75 bones.

id suggest you learn as much in the construction end as possible as the prices of foreclosures at least by me, Rockland Westchester Orange are through the roof and not much meat on the bone to justify a flip.

It has new carpeting but pretty good bones. 

Assume this place needs a lot of love except for the bones.

It was built 1915 and the bones are super solid but the last major work was done around the 70’s.

Is there not enough meat on the bone here or do you see opportunity? 

I believe there is a good $60k-$80k of meat on the bone with the ARV.

There was a lot of meat on the bone.

Is it an absolutely bare bones block building?

Back in 2016 and even as recent as summer of 2017, I seen probably 1.5 more or perhaps even double the houses that are on the market now, especially in hot areasTake all of 30314 and parts of 30318 for example, in 2016 there were lots of homes on the market being sold anywhere from the 60k-110k price points...duplexes, turnkey SFHs, 2 and 3 story homes,  SFHs with over 2k sq ft, just about everything...sure they needed work but the bones for most of the homes were decent and with maybe 15k-30k of work, you would have a home that could be priced in the 300ks in the next two or so years.Now, I see maybe 1 or 2 of those in 30314 under the 180k price point that hit the market per month, and then those homes are fought over like sharks over sardines.
