. #4 should come from a solid agent referral as well

A friend and I created one recently:https://drive.google.com/file/...It was meant to compare costs between different lenders, but you can use it to just see costs from one lender as well.

If it sold for $120K in 2007  , and your rent is $2000 a month , the landlord is probably cash flowing rather well .   

I have the knowledge and skills for contractor work as I have been doing handyman work for the past 10 years, as well as learning the roofing trade with a professional company.

Commercial properties are not evaluated by "comps" (well not exactly) they are evaluated on cash flow.

The biggest problem I see with seller financing is the cost of repairs (as well as holding, selling, etc.)

But ya have to make some educated prognostications in life.Add this to the information your processing - What your talking about doing is eliminating around $4000 or interest expense (which is deductible anyway so really could be a real impact of eliminating $2800 or so) of debt in exchange for paying over $10K in capital gains tax (don't forget possible state gains tax as well).  

This is extremely unfortunate and I think the name does not match their product, but there will be many others out there that do the same - so what can we take and learn from this as well?

While this suggests that inflation is proving stickier than anticipated, it remains well below the peaks seen in 2022 and 2023.

I’ve tried to maximize locations that will appreciate in value as well as cash flow.
