Is This Deal Good Enough To Wholesale?

I have an owner who has two houses. She has put in an offer which has been accepted on another house.
Closing April 28th !!!!!
The two houses are worth $720k from comps.

I think I can get them under contract for 600k or slightly above....they need cleaning and paint say $10k

My q is if I can get them under contract ....is this enough of a deal to wholesale to someone for say 10k .
Be gentle I am learning

    You will want to analyze the 4 benefits to investing, not just Cash Flow. The four benefits are CFBT, Pricipal reduction, Tax savings and Appreciation.

    To answer your question: CFBT-cash flow before taxes is calculated this way:

    Gross Operating Income(Annual Rent-Vacancy=GOI)
    minus operating expenses (tyipically operating expenses are 20% of your gross operating income for single family) minus your annual debt service equals your CFBT

    Summary:
    Gross Operating Income
    Minus: Operating expenses
    Equals: NOI
    Minus: Annual Debt Service
    Equals: CFBT

    Thanks Ray,
    I appreciate the help.
    By the way, I’m a FL boy too. Born and raised in St Pete. Just doing my time, serving my country up here in Alaska. I miss the sunshine… Hope to get back down there someday and really get into investing.
    My wife and I are trying to get it rolling here and when I retire in a couple years, we’ll move our operation back home.

    Again, thanks for the help.
    -Jeff
