The previous owner might have installed the calipers on the wrong sides. Make sure the bleeder screws are at the top. If not they are wrong and need to be changed.
When bleeding, start with the brake farthest from the master cylinder: RR, LR, RF, LF. I always make sure the master's full first then crack the bleeder at the wheel loose just a little until it begins to drip slowly, then close the bleeder. Then either manually bleed w/a helper, or pressure bleed. JMO
And Welcome to CF.

Question

It could be your master cylinder. Or just air in the lines.
