Thanks for all the feedback! I’ll see how the showing goes for the back unit and likely be putting an offer in today. Fingers crossed there aren’t any major surprises in the front.

Thanks @Josh Dillingham I'm starting to think the same thing - I'm sure it'll scare others considering it's almost scared me off

Thanks for the quick reply @Russell Brazil! I guess I'll see how it looks (at least on the outside) tomorrow. 

Hey all! I'm looking to buy my first property - a duplex. The back has been renovated and has pictures posted but there are no pictures of the front unit which has not been renovated due to it being occupied. 

I'm set to go see the property tomorrow but the agent just informed me that we cannot see the front unit because it's occupied.. Is this normal? 

His response as to when we could see the front unit was, "Only showing after under contract" Seems crazy to me to even consider buying a property without being able to see it. 

Thoughts? Advice? Is this normal? 

I'm wondering the same thing @Ashley Shearer

I'm buying my first duplex (hopefully this month!) living in one side and keeping the current tenant in the other. I've been planning on "paying rent" to myself and depositing it into my operating expenses checking account monthly but seems that might not be the best idea?
