Hello everyone, we are considering a 4-plex in Fayetteville, NC. The property is in a "C+" class neighborhood, and I would feel comfortable living there with my wife and kids. The surrounding properties are all 3-4 plexes. We have labeled this as one of our target areas to purchase in, and this would be our initial foothold in the neighborhood.
It is 15 minutes from one of the world's largest military bases in Ft. Bragg, and directly across the street from Methodist University.
Here is the listing for the property:

The current asking price is $239,000. It was recently dropped from $255,000. Each unit currently rents for $650, which we feel is a little low based on market research. All units are separately metered, and the tenants pay all utilities. The roof was replaced two years ago, but the property does need some cosmetic rehab. The only additional expense is $120 a month in lawn care.
Seller is offering financing, but we have not discussed terms yet. We are considering offering $209,000 with a no down VA loan. We understand that this is not a "killer deal" by most standards, but numbers wise it is a starting point for discussion.
1. What are we forgetting?
2. How would you structure the seller financing if it was your deal?
3. How would your initial offer differ from ours?
As always, thank you very much for your time and feedback!
