My First Duplex

[Luan Truong]

Hi everyone, 

I am new here and new to the real estate investing game as well. 

Currently I am analyzing a duplex in Georgia, it appears like a great deal. The listing price is 65k but from what was listed, the gross rent is 1800. I am looking to do a conventional loan on this property. However, the owner requires that the units can be viewed only during due diligence period only. Also, there isn't any pictures of the property listed on the MLS or anywhere, according to my Realtor. Is this normal in Georgia or is the seller trying to hide something?

I am willing to make the offer but I don't want to waste the inspection fee ($275) and the hassle of drafting up the contract and putting down an earnest money and ending up NOT buying the property. Any insights to this would be greatly appreciated!
