You could check online to see what homes in the area are really going for... Just to be sure. Try looking for some comparos.

So....
-Pool
-Coner/Larger Lot
-Below wholesale
-Work needed... around 10-15K
-No Garage
And for every dollar that you put into a home it should at least triple it. So... Lets say you make 4-5 on the dollar and you put 14K into it thats still a good chunk of money.
