Would you mind telling me around how much a typical study would cost ballpark?

Typically lenders want to see two years 1099 before they will look at lending to you.

Typically we are looking for a minimum of 8% -10% cash on cash ROI for the building.

I typically wouldn't want to buy a building that is so old, but the numbers on it are looking very promising.

Lots of activity on those auctions though and typically get bid up higher then my MAO.I know how to find the owner and contact them directly but what is the process to buying directly from them prior to the auction date?

If I do the reno right away, I rent them for a year or two and then sell them off typically off market since I have quite a number of people who know me via bigger pockets and are looking for turn key properties. 

Turnkey typically means single family or at least small multi and totally optimized.

I've had rental properties in the past and rely on cap rates to typically understand what I will make.
