The above numbers are purely for example, I dont know if they would sell that low, I need to chat with bank, and with a better grasp on the procedure I'm getting close to having that discussion with them. 

Yes, that's pure insanity. 

A few months ago the RI statewide MLS went onto a new system (Matrix) and separated out its pure commercial (no residential) listings into the RI CIE so I'd guess you might be able to find some smaller properties on there which might fit your needs.Though I'd also say if you know a real estate agent you could have them check the regular MLS too because it seems like not everyone's gotten the memo that commercial-only properties go into CIE and not MLS; just last week I saw a property like that in the regular MLS.And of course, if you're open to mixed use, then you may have more options and you should definitely be checking the regular MLS (which as a non-agent you can do via RILiving.com).

Everyone has to live somewhere, and if you are intent on owning your home, and your expenses are less whether the unit next door is empty or occupied, then from a purely financial point of view, assuming you are renting now (or own, and the potential appreciation of the two properties is even), you might as well make the move. 

I buy all my properties, single family or multi-family, purely for the cash flow, even with cap-ex included.

If it's not clear enough to handle by myself, I don't take the tenant to court, pure and simple.

Pure investment so the costs are a little higher.

I think this was pure laziness, and rather than being forced to justify his amounts, he just went and found some reason to change the values without having to do extra work by adding a higher priced comp. 

So someone who is looking purely to maximize potential return (and has unlimited time) is unlikely to find this a good fit.Good luck with your search.

If you have measured goals of real estate success, if you actually want to integrate into a community and help improve it, Pittsburgh is a point of pure light on the map of the USA.
