How Midwest CRE Advisors Generated Multiple Offers and Achieved a Full-Price Closing in 64 Days Despite Inspection Challenges
Case study: sale of a fully remodeled, income-generating duplex at 3802 Roanoke Road in Kansas City, Missouri.
When a fully renovated duplex in a highly walkable Kansas City neighborhood was brought to market, the opportunity appeared compelling from the outset.
The property featured strong in-place income, modern renovations, and a unique positioning as a furnished, mid-term rental asset catering to traveling professionals. Its turnkey condition and performance history made it attractive to a wide range of potential buyers.
