First look

Minneapolis duplex asking $290K, 450 days on market, and our numbers land at about break-even (-$4/mo, 6.4% cap at 20% down). That means it only works if you can negotiate or if rents beat our estimates. The listing gives no rents, no lease info and no utility details, so the first ask is a rent roll. The updates look cosmetic (flooring, paint, AC, roof), and the kitchens and baths are dated. The city rental license covers only 1 unit, so confirm the second unit is legal and licensable. Worth a showing only if the price comes down meaningfully.

Things to consider

  1. Cash flow is break-even at asking There is no cushion for repairs, vacancy or higher taxes; price needs to come down or rents need to beat our estimates.
  2. Rental license covers only 1 unit If the second unit isn't licensed, you may face compliance costs or lose income until it is.
  3. Taxes will likely rise for an investor The current bill reflects homestead status, so real operating costs are probably higher than shown.
  4. Asking price far above county value and past sale The seller paid $27K in 2009 and the county values it at $195K, so $290K leaves little margin.

Red flags and opportunities

Watch for

  • highThe city's rental license covers 1 unit(s); this analysis counts 2. Public record: Minneapolis Active Rental Licenses: 1332 LOGAN AVE N, units=1
  • highDescription gives no rents, lease status, or utility setup, so income is unverified. Listing says: strong rental potential in a highly desirable area · AI review
  • medium450 days on market suggests the price has not matched what buyers see in the numbers. Based on: data: listing.days_on_market · AI review
  • mediumCounty market value is well below the asking price. Based on: data: county.market_value · AI review
  • mediumHomestead tax classification; an investor will pay a higher non-homestead rate, so real taxes are likely above $2,616. Based on: data: county.homestead · AI review

Opportunities

  • The seller bought for $27,000 in May 2009, so they can take a lower offer and still come out well ahead. Public record: Hennepin County parcel 1602924340117: last sale 2009-05-01, $27,000
  • Long time on market: room to negotiate. Based on: Listing data: 450 days on market
  • Seller's low basis and long listing give room to negotiate hard. Based on: data: listing.days_on_market · AI review
  • Minneapolis has no rent cap, so rents can rise to market after a refresh. Based on: data: underwriting.rent_rule · AI review
  • Dated kitchens and baths leave room for value-add updates. Based on: photo 6 · AI review

Questions for the agent

  • What are current rents, lease terms and security deposits for each unit? Can I see the rent roll?
  • Which utilities does the owner pay, and are there separate meters and furnaces?
  • Is the second unit licensed? Why does the city license show only 1 unit?
  • Who did the roof and AC, and are there permits and dates?
  • Why has it sat 450 days, and have there been price cuts or offers?
  • Is the owner living in one unit, and will it be delivered vacant?

Bottom line

Break-even at asking with cosmetic updates and an unclear license, so only worth pursuing at a clearly lower price. AI-assisted summary
