I was attracted to the "owner occupied" aspect of property.

I do work in accounting, so I am very comfortable with numbers and spreadsheets, so that aspect of the business resonates with me a lot!

Here's my side.1) "I figure this would be a win-win for both sides considering the seller would collect a non-refundable deposit"This is really the only aspect that has a snowball's chance in heck convincing me to do this. 

Think of all aspects of Realestate, tenants, brokers, property managers, etc.

But I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around anyone really appreciating the design aspect of a mini fridge.

As I looked more into it, it sounded very promising in several aspects. 

Well worth the money to have complete control over this aspect of your business. 

The problem I've had with Rentometer is it uses a distance radius for data, which in this case mould encompass Lower Merion, etc.. it might be better for larger suburban towns where there is less variation within blocks.

I would run some comps on the large buildings that sold in the past couple of years and reevaluate those numbers, especially your rehab costs.A quick note on the seller financing aspect: Most buildings that do sell at that 15-22/unit mark need extensive rehabs, are in terrible areas, or have unseen issues.

Sounded like maybe they were going to focus on a different aspect of their business.
