Red flags and opportunities
Watch for
- mediumCouldn't match this address to a county parcel record, so taxes and unit count are unverified. Public record: County parcels: no match for 330-332 13TH AVE E N
Opportunities
- Long time on market: room to negotiate. Based on: Listing data: 90 days on market
Questions for the agent
- Can we see the current leases and a rent roll, with move-in dates?
- What did water/sewer/trash, heat and electric cost the owner over the last 12 months?
- How old are the roof, boiler or furnaces, water heaters and electrical panels?
- Is the building licensed as a rental for this many units, and when was the last city inspection?
- Any special assessments pending, and will the seller pay them off at closing?
Standard questions worth asking about any building.
