    You've seen it in a picture??

    Don't even think about a deal until you see it in person and walk through, at absolute minimum.

    Also, what is your experience? How much do you know/understand? What is your risk level? Do you have cash reserves? Are you a rehabber, or are you flipping to another investor? If you flip it, can you answer questions about the structure? How is the plumbing? Are their any liens? Is there lead paint?
    What about appliances? Bathrooms? Heating system?

    RE Investing is serious business. And while this board is helpful, you shouldn't make decisions based on what other investors 'think.'

    IMHO, it sounds like you need to do some more homework and at least see the property in person.

    Good luck!
