Since we do not want to make repairs and hold onto this house anymore. 

I've bid on a house on Hubzu and was the highest bidder when the auction ended.

The age of our housing stock and the capex that comes with it should also not be ignored.

Overall the house is in livable condition but I want to add some value to it and keep it not just flip it. 

HUD recently accepted my offer on a single-family house, and my bid price is 25% less than the market value, making it a great deal.

If it was my house I'd want to keep an eye on it in person. 

Ideally, you'll find a wholesaler you can really work with who will involve you before they get the house under contract so that the contracted price works for everyone, including the seller.

I cleared $10k on my first one.We ended up clearing $30k on the second one.The last flip was very stressful for my wife and she wants to keep our finances (HELOC) out of the next one.I am going to look to find a financing partner to cover the carrying costs of the next flip.On a $400k house (average for my area), the total investment would be $85-$95k and would be paid directly to the lender and subs/suppliers, not to me.I can bring the lender, as I have a good rep with the one I use.I will do all the rest.

Airbnb- house go off the market for housing.  

Each additional house pays off faster than the last with the additional cash flow.
