Duplex: Poor MLS listing
Investment Info:

I found this property on the MLS. It had bad photos and appeared to have incorrect square footages, but I knew the neighborhood and decided to check it out anyway. It was summer 2020 just before the market really skyrocketed--I was the only offer and I was able to buy below the listing price.
