Once you have a handle on things, and perhaps enough of a backup fund built-up, then you can re-evaluate after a month or two.I know you have rentals already, so make sure you're set there with reserves that you wouldn't have to dip into...sometimes when it rains, it pours. 

If you don't mind me asking, I am curious to know how you evaluate properties to make the decision of what is to keep as an investor vs sell?" 

@Michael Ealy totally agree especially with the first point in California with prop 13, there a lot of agents who don't understand the implication of the sale when they are listing (or they don't care).Also there are many times that rents are under market and can be raised, or utilities can be submetered easily.However to caution the newbies while you might not want to base your decision on actual expenses you certainly don't want to use the seller's pro forma numbers, as those will paint the rosiest of pictures, use your own numbers to evaluate always.

So in @Matt Faircloth's recent webinar  "How to Find and Evaluate Your First Apartment Building Deal" he talks about putting together a "Deal Hotsheet" which he shares with his "hunters" so they can find him deals that fit his needs.

How should I evaluate this besides the money upfront?

I currently have insurance coverage, but I want to evaluate my options. 

Because you are wholesaling you either need to comp ARV and know the approximate repair cost or you need to evaluate it as a rental. 

I have been trying to get this fixed for almost 4 months and have made no progress at all.
