Either we are crazy, or we are very wise investors, because Mr. PFL and I made an offer on a duplex for $325,000 without going to see it. I did drive by after making our first full-priced offer of $300,000 on the day it was listed. The agent emailed that they already had multiple offers, so we upped it $25,000. They are supposed to make a decision by 5pm on Sunday.
This duplex checks off nearly every box on our list, the most important being location, off-street parking, basement storage, and some outdoor space. While it lacks a garage, there is potential room for one to be built. The pictures of the interior show some updating, but that part really isn’t that important to us; we can make most cosmetic changes ourselves anyway.
So, I guess we will see.
And speaking of sight unseen, I still haven’t gotten in to see BD’s sister buildings. I’ve still been texting with the owner, who is still trying to get his property management situation figured out. We are quickly approaching three months since I sent my letter.
