I see information/data indicating people wanting to buy a home are discouraged and as many as 70% won't buy because of current market conditions. 

Recently I did a job in the Pearland area I manage to have a conversation with a customer and he is interested to sell his house, is a two story house have 3 bedroom, and 2 baths doesn't look in good condition, but I think this is a flip house, also the customer just had it install a Furnace and a new water heater. the customer happily provide me with his phone number and his address.

It currently says: "You promise to keep the premises in a neat and sanitary condition and to immediately reimburse the landlord for any sums necessary to repair any item, fixture, or appurtenance that needed service due to your, or your invitee, misuse or negligence. 

As a Property Manager, Broker, and often Buyers agent I attend the inspections, evaluate the condition of the property, each unit, the disclosure information, the current rents, the projected rent, etc so the buyer can make an informed decision.

I also schedule my own walk-through inspection within a week of purchase so I can take pictures to document condition, ask the tenants about any deferred maintenance, or to discuss any pending changes.

The numbers only tell part of the story, not the condition of the building.

(As a side note, the house isn’t really in terrible condition.

Taking the advice from Brandon turner he mentions you need to have your crystal clear criteria as this will narrow down and tune in what you should start looking for.My CCC would relate towards my goal of beginning my momentum train through house hacking1- primary residence, anywhere from single to four plex depending on if I have the capital to.2-It will be in the same city or nearby from where I currently work in Palmdale CA. 3- condition, not to sure to be honest if I get a fixer upper what repels me from this is not having to capital to fix it.

Given the current market conditions, you could have an easier time getting an accepted offer if you target properties that have been on the market for 2+ weeks instead of going after properties that are fresh on the market.

Unless I know the actual condition of the property, how do I know the actual cost?
