Congratulations on your purchase. It does indeed sound like a good deal. Two, possibly three, units for under $300K? It’s less than you’re currently paying in rent, so I can’t see how you could go wrong with it.
Sometimes, people don’t really pay attention to certain properties that appear to be good deals. Maybe the pictures aren’t good or the timing is off — some areas seem to take off periodically, then they cool off while another area gets hot. I’ve seen it a number of times, and those are usually the good deals.
Let us know how it goes when you close. It sounds like a great place!
