I did have a neighbor come outside and chase a tow truck because it was actually his car and the previous occupant of the house had told them they could store the car on the property.

May not seem like beach weather but I guess lots of people prefer the open, fresh (if chilly in winter) mountain air ....Texas.

I've found a 4 unit property for sale in my price range which also has a store front as well with a current long term tenant.

Also how soon do I receive the payments after the buyer pay the servicing companyHello Bob, If you are setting up a note fresh you can write into your docs that the buyer pays the servicing fee. 

it is not the same as smelling a fresh ground cup of joe that is served at the local coffee shop.

Do I basically treat this like a fresh lease regardless of the fact that they'll already be living in the house?

After calling the rep for this product, the next thing we know there was a living room full of people doing a failure inspection, they were from the store, distributor, manufacture and a independent 3rd party tech ( that I later learned he worked for the manufacture).

It is inside of an old main street store that is now non-existent.

Upsells: if you have other things tenants might want like cable/wifi, or have a side business like a dropshipping store you can lead them to your store or blog to see if they're interested in your products.3.)

Disadvantage could be a location on a busy street which is less popular for residential, but would be great for a store-front.
