Thank you @Francis Nguyen

I wasnt expecting it to appraise that high, my estimates were closer 175k compared to friends of mine who had duplexes in the area, but it turns out, it being a corner house and over 2000sqft played a large role. Insurances said rebuild costs were over 800k (Which is absurd, its nowhere near that much, maybe 250k) Its also in a better section of the area.  And just paint really, the previous tenants kept good care of it. a few month after the fact I had to put 6k in roof issues, but other that, initially it was just paint and minor repairs.
