What are the benefits to this type of system vs. one with traditional internet? 

Wow a lot of projects on the go, I'm not afraid of hard work as it usually offers much better returns, only exception being Amazon as I probably would've made more just investing in the stock in 2013 compared to selling on the platform! 

What I did see that may turn people off is the galley kitchen that has low ceilings compared to the other areas.

Properties are extremely cheap compared to the rest of the states.

If you compare my two deals, the lot that the 5 unit currently sits on is only moderately larger than the two combined lots that I wanted to convert my 2 unit to a 3 unit.  

Im in a similar situation with a municipality, but if you are able to cover health insurance through the service, that makes the transition out of the traditional W-2 much more feasible and also covers all of your bases.  

The rental calculator here on BP uses a traditional mortgage, and obviously seller financing isn't quite the same. 

Any advice on hanging my license with a traditional company vs. a flat fee company to maximize return on real estate investments?

Excellent choice in materials and I'm sure that tile will hold up very well compared to carpet, laminate, etc.

@JD Martin I don't have any magical answers here but I'm curious: How do you think the market value compares to what you are willing to pay?
