Seller financing- What to know when you don't know

My broker friend and I have been talking for months at the YMCA about my interests in REI. We put together a possible seller financing deal and i'll be walking through the property in a little bit with him.

When looking through the property-- What are the most important things to remember, consider, mention, etc-- it's an upper lower duplex built in 1922. Both units have brand new furnaces. 

The deal will be seller financed with me bringing a 20% of PP check to the table (lent to me from my Credit Union)-- What kind of term(s) should I be looking for that aren't obvious/What are good things to try and negotiate? 

This will be my first real estate purchase ever, and in my opinion the numbers look pretty good, those numbers being:

59k PP

$1100-$1200 gross rent (monthly between the two units)

I figure after vacancy, repairs, capex, PM (Although i'll self manage initially,) and taxes, etc... I'll cash flow 120-150$/per door. 

Again, this is my first deal and i'm just trying to get any last minute advice or information before I walk through the property for the first time, thanks BP nation for all of the information that's lead to me getting this close to my first deal
