Why a 32% Cap Rate Duplex Sat for 6 Months

During the 2,971st episode of The MLS Search & Analysis Show, James Wise breaks down a duplex with eye-popping projected returns that has somehow been sitting on the market for months. On paper, the cap rate looks incredible—but experienced investors know properties don't sit that long without a reason. We dig into the existing rents, tenant situation, neighborhood risk, and the challenges of getting the property from its current condition to a fully stabilized rental. This is exactly why you can't invest based on spreadsheet returns alone. Access the full deal breakdown with a VIP PLUS Membership.
