First look

This is a flipped duplex asking $424K after a $163K purchase 14 months ago. Our numbers say it makes about $27 a month at the asking price with 20% down, with a 6.5% cap rate. Break-even price is about $429K, so the ask is roughly $5K below break-even on our rents of $1,925 per 3-bed. The finishes look clean in the photos, but cosmetic work can hide problems, so check permits for the electrical, plumbing and HVAC the listing claims. The tax delinquency and missing rental license need answers before anything else. Worth a showing, but cash flow is thin, so any surprise cost erases it.

Things to consider

  1. Price is roughly in line with what the rents support At asking, cash flow is about $27 a month and break-even is near $429K. The margin is thin, so a price cut would add cushion.
  2. Flip economics: bought for $163K, asking $424K Renovation quality matters more than the finish. Unpermitted work could cause insurance, inspection or resale issues.
  3. Delinquent taxes and no rental license on file Back taxes and penalties come out of the deal, and an unlicensed rental can delay legal rental income.
  4. Separate utilities help operating costs Separate furnaces and water heaters let tenants pay their own utilities, which keeps owner expenses low.Listing says: “separate furnace, and separate water heater, allowing for independent utilities and low-maintenance ownership”
  5. Rent estimates are mid-range for 3-beds Two 3-beds at about $1,925 each gross roughly $46,200 a year, which just about carries a $424K price at today's rates.

Red flags and opportunities

  • highAt asking price the deal loses money every month even with 20% down Based on: data: underwriting.cash_flow_monthly · AI review
  • mediumNo rental license on file in the city's data. Ask whether the building is licensed as a rental and when it was last inspected. Public record: Minneapolis Active Rental Licenses: no record for 1007 19TH AVE N E
  • mediumBought for $163,000 in Aug 2025; asking is 160% more 14 months later. Ask what was done to justify the jump. Public record: Hennepin County parcel 1202924330168: last sale 2025-08-01, $163,000
  • mediumRenovation claims are broad; verify permits and who did the work, since flips can be cosmetic Listing says: Upstairs unit was renovated down to the studs. New Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, New Siding and Windows. · AI review
  • low$220 in special assessments on the current tax bill (often street, sewer or code-enforcement charges). Ask what they're for, whether they continue, and whether the seller pays them off at closing. Public record: Hennepin County parcel 1202924330168: special assessments (current) = $219.83
  • low65 days on market suggests the price is meeting resistance Based on: data: listing.days_on_market · AI review

Opportunities

  • No rent cap in Minneapolis, so rents can follow the market Based on: data: underwriting.rent_rule · AI review
  • Two 3-bed units suit families and owner-occupants, which widens the buyer and tenant pool Listing says: Each spacious unit features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom · AI review

Questions for the agent

  • What was spent on the renovation, and can you share the permits for electrical, plumbing and HVAC?
  • Why are the property taxes delinquent, and are they paid off at closing?
  • Is the building licensed as a rental in Minneapolis, and has it passed inspection?
  • What are the special assessments for, and do they continue?
  • Are there current tenants or signed leases, and at what rents?
  • Will the seller consider a price closer to $350K given the time on market?

Bottom line

Clean flip, and at $424K it roughly breaks even monthly and sits about $5K below our break-even price, so verify permits, taxes and licensing before you proceed. AI-assisted summary
