I've been looking at this property for a few days now. https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/reo/6156596169.html The price is right, and I could do a decent portion of the work myself. What do you think? Am I an idiot for even considering it?

What would be the renovation budget? What's the cash on cash return?

I don't think it's worth $15k in Price Hill. Definitely under $10k. You can get a house that only needs $5-10k worth of work over there for $30k and this listing looks like it needs at least $20k and more like $30k.

Thank you for your insight!

I haven't been over in Price Hill or looked at listings over there for about a year. Prices are definitely ticking upwards from Elberon east to the Incline House.
But I did find a similar house to that Craigslist listing that is lived-in (rented?) and ready to go for $50K:

It would be tough to get that Craisglist house to this level for $35k, and even if you did, you'd need to sell it for at least $80k to really justify the effort. That said, there does appear to be quite a bit of flipping going on in Price Hill, so we might be on the cusp of a general improvement of the area.
