Property #4!

Hey BP members! Tomorrow I'm closing on my 4th property since joining BP.

This one was tremendously difficult to close and has taken nearly 6 months to close.

This property was a bank foreclosure. My first offer was rejected and the bank accepted another offer. The duplex was off the market for nearly 3 months and the original buyer was unable to close on the deal (apparently couldn't get financed). It comes back on the market and I make an offer and it's accepted. The listing agent then drops off the face of the earth for 3 weeks, and we end up going through his broker just to get a response to the offer. Several more months and loads more issues later (no issues with the duplex, mostly issues with the selling bank and listing agent) and we are finally closing tomorrow.

The property is a duplex. It is 3br/2BA each side with attached garage. The property also has a detached 2 car garage with seperate storage. One side is rented out already. I have my contractor lined up to do some maintenance work and repaint and we will be ready to rent out the other side.

Here are the pics.
