First look
This is a 1978 side-by-side duplex in a small border town, priced at $329K, and the listing gives no rents, no tax figure and no heat details. FACTS has no rent estimate or underwriting, so there is nothing to test the price against yet. The pitch reads like a lifestyle sale (lake, snowmobile trails, retired owner), and one unit is partly furnished, which hints at short-term or owner use. Get the rent roll, the lease for the long-term tenant, and two years of utility bills before anything else. At 153 days on market there is room to negotiate, but I would not show up until the income is documented.
Things to consider
- No income data at all Without rents and expenses you can't tell whether $329K works. Rural duplex rents are often modest, so the price may rely on owner-occupant appeal.
- Unverified parcel, taxes and unit count We couldn't match the county record, so taxes and legal unit count are unknown. Taxes can change a rural deal's cash flow.
- Long-term tenant on one side only The other side's status is unknown, so you may be buying with 50% vacancy or an owner-occupied unit. Ask for leases and rent history.Listing says: “A long term renter occupies one side.”
- Heat and utilities unspecified in a cold climate If the owner pays heat or shared services, expenses could be heavy in northern Minnesota winters. Confirm meters and fuel type.
- Dated but clean finishes Original-looking kitchens mean updates later, but there's no sign of major deferred maintenance in the photos shown.From photo 4
- Long time on market 153 days suggests pricing is above what buyers will pay; use that in negotiating after verifying the income.

Questions for the agent
- What are the current rents for each side, and is there a written lease for the long-term tenant?
- Who pays heat, electric, water and trash, and are there separate meters and furnaces for each unit?
- What are the annual property taxes and is the property homestead classified now?
- Is the furnished unit rented, vacant, or used by the owner? Has it been used as a short-term rental?
- What is the age of the roof, furnaces, water heaters and electrical panels?
- Is the septic or municipal sewer? If septic, when was it last inspected and what is its compliance status?
Bottom line
A tidy-looking 1978 duplex with no income numbers shown; don't take it seriously until you see the rent roll and bills. AI-assisted summary
