That question is about a mile wide.

@Jay Hinrichs not buying properties at the $20K price range.

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. 

A 14 foot wide driveway wrap around. 7.

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).

I live here and know that there is a wide variety of valuation in this small tricounty area.
