  So i closed on my duplex last week!   The circumstances leading up to finding this home were extraordinary.  Upon viewing dozens of multi family homes and duplexes through out Dover this winter, i found that they were either overpriced or in terrible shape. 

  On this one day in March, i was trying to get closer to a realtor sign in order to catch the phone number when i saw "for rent" in a window of a nice cape style home near by.    I thought to myself, i should find out what it looks like inside and see what he is asking (in order to get comparisons.  So i called and left a message.   That night, the man called me back and asked if i had time that night to check out the place.  I reluctantly said i would meet him at 7 although i was tired and busy with other things.

  After talking with him for almost two hours i mentioned i was really in the market to buy, he paused and decided to sell the home to me off the market!  Just goes to show that some of life’s best opportunities often show themselves in the least likely of situations.   Maybe some day i'll have the funds to furnish it
