How to Analyze an Off-Market Deal

[John Castle]

I am on the journey to buying a duplex to House-Hack in Sacramento, CA. I currently have a very promising lead on an off market deal. If all goes well, then soon I will be negotiating with the seller on a price. The property details are:

• - Duplex in 95677 Zip Code
• - 3bed/2bath each side
• - Not a fixer upper, but not a gem either

I am looking for advice and guidance on: how to analyze & figure out what my max price will be, negotiation tactics for off market deals, ANY and ALL other advice for off market deals or house hacking!!

Thank you!!!
