One thing to keep in mind, is transportation.  

The property is in a C grade trending towards B grade neighborhood, close to shopping, public transport, and a solid high school, has all new windows, updated roof, masonry, electric, and rear porch, and one of the 7 units was fully rehabbed recently.

While transporting it did you follow all state laws?
