This is a single family in a fantastic school district the house is large and nice we actually used to live in it.

So far, they've not missed a single (modified) rent payment and their lawyer has confirmed that the settlement amount he is working toward has already been modified to reflect that the first check cut from the settlement will be coming my way to pay me in full. 4 months from now, I'll have either dodged a large bullet or will be crying in the new year for my failure not to evict sooner. 

My neighbors are a 12+ Unit condo building, 2 flat, 4 flat and an large apartment complex across the street.

Maybe have a minimum of doors for each level with the discount in place based on your scale of economy. 

It's a nice large home with a finished basement and in a top rated school district.  

Before you get too far, do some basic title search.....you may find a large mtg, liens, back taxes, demolition order, etc.

On that wall backing to the basement steps, it looks to be about 5-6 feet, I would add either lower and upper cabinetry for dishes and small appliances or a large reach in pantry maybe both if the wall is longer than 6ft.Doing this will give you a really nice big "L" kitchen plus a pantry and washer/dryer off the kitchen.

Because I can scale rents appropriately and as I pay off the mortgage the cost of it goes down.

You get 13%.Increased Scale, Less Risk – You’re investing in a former hotel with 23 upscale units and a view of the Cali River.

As a result, the smart REI investors are looking for B-minus or C-on-the-borders-of-B areas.Fountain Square is the neighborhood where a lot of REI's [including ME] are trying to find properties - thanks in large part to HGTV's "Good Bones".
