People have a price range in mind when they tour your house I don't want them to find any negatives or concerns, and I want few wows that make them want to go to top of their range and want to go all in.they don't walk around with a check list going oh I see this add 500 to the offer ohh they have this quality of tile add 1000 to offer. 

Now, if you were to choose to purchase this property in the 150K+ range, the next appraisal (either at the close of sale or next time the county gets to it) may increase quite a bit and you need to be ready for that with your numbers.

What had been removed was the range, the living room ceiling light, the bathroom sink and faucet, all the light bulbs out of the ceiling fan, etc etc.

But, you should just be looking for your range of numbers.You have to talk to someone on the deck to know what numbers are in real time.

The area you're in is considered one of the best areas in Newark and if you renovate those apartments to a high standard you will get rents at the high range of all rents in Newark. 

I started renting a small storage unit where I can keep any extra refrigerator (these had been difficult to find in my local big box stores lately), range and washer and dryer as needed (including if my own washer/dryer suddenly kicks the bucket).

The seller needs to agree to this if they want to sell the deal.Be prepared to show proof of funds sufficient to cover whatever down payment is required, plus working capital.If the seller still refuses to provide the tax returns, rent rolls, leases and any other docs the lender asks for, wish them the best of luck in selling their deal and go find another, because without those docs it's not going to sell.Good luck!

What is your "all in" price range for rentals and also for flips? 

(Refinancing should give you sufficient capital to jumpstart making more passive income.)

It seems my purchase price needs to be in the 450k range with a sale in the 600s to see good healthy margins.
