Too many references are going to be made to local areas and unless you have a firm grasp on the local market this maybe awkward.

I'd love to throw my hat into the ring for this one.I've worked hard for everything I have, which makes it awkward for me to tell someone "why me", why I should be considered for such a gift.

Start with the assumption there will be awkward conversations and 2.

My experience is that staging helps especially when you have an awkward or undefined space/layout. 

That's putting them in a pretty awkward position, especially when the other person is their neighbor. 

Thanks for the input, guys.It's a bit of an awkward situation because the tenant was a friend of my late father's.

FSBO will be avoided because of the awkwardness of who pays or doesn't pay the buyer agent. 

I would suggest you carefully screen your tenants as they you will be your neighbors and rent collection/eviction can get awkward.

If fixtures, plumbing and wiring have been stripped and/or the buildings have been left unheated during {part of} the past ~7years, there could be additional costs.As for the seven unit, whether you need to rehab is ultimately your call, but just looking a the small window provided by the pictures you posted, I would be planning to "freshen"/update the units and address some layout/usability awkwardness.

Thanks so much @Mark Kurian and @Christopher Gilly!
