@Alina Trigub thanks for your detailed response.They do advertise online but the ads seem outdated and one of them even says "no availability!"

Hmm thanks.The industry is changing and brokers run offices haphazardly and have slim margins and outdated strategies. [ I spent long time with C21, then my own brokerage]Most brokerages I have a hard time aligning my concepts and strategies with so I stay independent. 

Based on the kitchen it looks like the property has been a 2 unit for a least 10-20 years (outdated kitchen).

Homes in the area sell for $600,000 - $700,000 in outdated condition.

I've used Loopnet in the past but I've found many listings are way outdated.

If the house is just dated and everything functions but is out dated .

Better to buy the outdated home on a great street than a pristine home that is overpriced for its surroundings.

For some reason they aren't setting move out dates timely. 

Buying a poorly flipped house, in my opinion, can hurt a lot more than buying an old, completely outdated house.A few questions.

Be cautious of outdated plumbing and electrical systems, especially with knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized steel pipes.
