Seller is going through foreclosure process ARV: $225k-255k, based on conservative comps (A buyer had put in an offer for 235k before backing out after inspection)Capital I have to work with: $35,000Rental Estimate: $1,750/mo.

Hey Ronnie, You would need to sell them the property at 80% ARV minus repairs so they can get at least a 10% profit margin (which is more than 10% ROI because it's a percentage based on ARV not on money invested) after covering realtor commissions and closing costs.

This applies more so based on location not on or in all scenarios that is why I mentioned avoiding a CALI purchase if possible.Hopefully that makes sense based on previous comments. 

Do you think it's crucial to have these ready based on your experience?

Based on the price per sqft a builder gave me a duplex would be $280k and Triplex $420K roughly.
