Hello,
Firstly Id like to say i love this forum it might of been the best thing I've ever ran into online.
Here is my situation!
I recently found a duplex that is for sale by owner. I went to see the duplex and took pictures of it. I then posted a few classified ads marketing it for sale at 35k.
I got a nice response of people interested in seeing the duplex. I didnt revel any address information. Just basically harvested everyone who contacted me about the duplex into my awebber account.
I then gave a offer of the duplex for 18k and it was declined by the owner. The owner's counter offer was 23k and I pay closing cost ( he has the duplex for sale at 25k)
I just followed up with a offer for 20k and we split closing costs 50/50. I think he will accept this offer.
to get to the point, I want to make sure I am getting the best number possible for this duplex and also want to make sure I can get at least 30k for this duplex. I signed up for real quest and pulled some info. Here are the stats.
Estimated Value : $59,000
Forecast Std Deviation : 22
4 beds / 2 baths / 2,362 sqft

The property has a detached garage that needs some paint. The fuse box needs updated , also there is a small crack in the main sewage pipe in the basement.The duplex could use some new carpet but isn't necessary.
There are no tenants in this duplex. It is a great size.
Do you think double closing a contract would be the best scenario in this case?
All help and comments are greatly appreciated.
thank you
