First look

This is a converted triplex, now a duplex, with roughly 3 bed / 2 bath per unit, listed at $335K. Our estimate is $2,125 per unit mid-range, and at asking that works out to about $872/mo cash flow and a 9.5% cap. That's decent, but it assumes the rents hold and there are no surprise repairs. The listing gives no actual rents, and both tenancies began this year, so ask for the leases first. The county taxes of $1,937 look low for a non-homestead investor, so check what the bill becomes after a sale. It's worth a showing if the conversion was done legally and the rents check out.

Things to consider

  1. Decent margin at asking About $872/mo cash flow and a 9.5% cap leave some room for repairs or vacancy; the break-even price is $498,877 but only if rents hold.
  2. No verified rents The numbers rest on our estimates. Real rents could be higher or lower, so verify leases before you offer.Listing says: “Tenancy began in each unit this year'26.”
  3. Conversion and licensing A triplex converted to a duplex changes the legal unit count. Confirm the layout, permits and rental license.Listing says: “Previous triplex converted to duplex!”
  4. Price vs. county value The $335K ask is well above the $300,800 county value, which supports negotiating down.
  5. Aging finishes and systems unknown Cabinets and porch look dated and there are no systems photos. Budget for reserves until inspected.From photo 2

Several electric meters and conduit run on the rear wall, consistent with the former triplex wiring. The basement windows are visible, so ask about the basement's condition.

Red flags and opportunities

Watch for

  • mediumTriplex converted to duplex: confirm permits, egress and that the rental license matches the current layout. Listing says: Previous triplex converted to duplex! · AI review
  • mediumBoth tenancies are new, so there is no rent history. Ask whether the rents are market or incentive-priced. Listing says: Tenancy began in each unit this year'26. · AI review
  • mediumTax figure looks low and non-homestead. Re-estimate the tax bill after sale. Based on: data: county.tax · AI review
  • lowHighway about 245 m away. Expect noise, which can affect tenant demand and rents. Based on: data: highway.distance_m · AI review

Opportunities

  • Motivated-seller language: room to negotiate. Listing says: "beginner or seasoned to add to their portfolio! Motivated Seller . Make an offer!"
  • Seller wants out; room to negotiate below the $335K ask, which is above the $300,800 county value. Listing says: Motivated Seller. Make an offer! · AI review
  • No rent cap in Minneapolis, so rents can rise with the market over time. Based on: data: underwriting.rent_rule · AI review
  • Shared laundry could carry a coin or fee income if both tenants use it. Listing says: Washer/Dryer for shared use is in the rear entry area. · AI review

Questions for the agent

  • What are the actual rents, and can I see the signed leases and deposits?
  • Was the triplex-to-duplex conversion permitted, and does the rental license list two units?
  • Who pays heat? The building has hot-water heat, so is it one boiler or one per unit?
  • How old are the roof, boiler, electrical panels and water heater?
  • Why did the previous tenants leave, and why are both tenancies new this year?
  • Who pays for the shared washer and dryer and the water bill?

Bottom line

A roomy 3/2 duplex with fresh tenancies that clears about $872/mo at asking, but the rents need verifying. AI-assisted summary
