He mentioned that he was more interested in a traditional sale and after speaking for about 20 minutes we left off with me wishing him luck on his sale and him saying that he will keep my offer in mind.

Try to go for traditional with banking, it's less expensive and will help build your credit.

If you got it all for cash in Ohio, I'm wondering if the overall value might be in the lower range - possibly making it challenging to refinance in a traditional way.  

In NJ, because of the high taxes, traditional calculators don't work as well because they also can't approximate the skyrocketing appreciation in some markets.

One of those simple things that I wish I would have thought of.It has to be cheaper than the traditional surface tension guards since its really just a wide nylon sponge stuffed into the gutter.

I personally have belonged to churches that rented space in retail space and other commercial space, as well as traditional buildings.

Now if I go with traditional financing and run my numbers with a 20% down, I don't see making a decent cashflow (should be atleast around $200) per door?

I'm happy to stick with the traditional security deposit for now. 

Yes, the rates are quite a bit higher than traditional banks.
