Can somebody tell me what the next step would be

Hi everybody. Just wanted to know what should be my next step. I found a property that an investor is listing with a realtor. She told me that if the investor did a few repairs on the property it would cost another five thousand. The property is listed for 26000. It is a duplex. It is a 2bd 1 bth. It rents for 495 each a month. Since I have no financing available, I would like to see if I can do a lease with the option to purchase. I will call the realtor tomorrow, but I really do not know what is to say and what would be a good deal. If someone can help me please do. I have to check to see what the tax assessment of this property is.
