I didn't conduct a deep dive in to the neighborhood comps but this initial observation points to a pricing issue.

Even in 2023 when everyone in real estate suffered major losses, exp returned a profit. 

TLDR: I found a seller who is open to a financing an off-market 5 unit multi family home near a major hospital in Denver.

Another important consideration is whether you plan to manage the rental yourself or hire a property manager to handle tenant issues and maintenance.I recommend starting by answering these questions.

Found this in another thread on BP:If it is privately held you may run into issues with the privacy policy of the company.

Unit A is about 100 years old and Unit B is almost completely new.Pros:-The duplex is in a very desirable neighborhood with home value appreciation year over year at about 50+%-Rent is also in high demand within this area-Cash flows well even with high interest rates and increasing property taxes-Home is price below average cost per sq ft-The house has been renovated and some parts of it has been remodeledCons:-All issues are with Unit A, the 100 year old unit.

I have been having a few recurring issues in different rentals and I have been debating on buying my own sewer scope.

I am aware of the Sewage issue and i am aware that in this high interest regime it won't be a cash flow property.

However, when I have conversations with perhaps the vast majority of other people in my friends group, and certainly in recesses of internet forums, subreddits, and facebook groups, the prevailing consensus is that I am crazy. 

He is willing to sell because he has an issue he needs to resolve.
