So a friend mine was approached to sell his auto body business along with the property and building.

Instead of getting up on the toilet, turning around to face forward (putting 100% of body weight on one side of the toilet in the process), planting both feet on the seat, standing up, and squatting down (for #2 or #1), which will cause the bolts holding the toilet in place to come loose (our toilets are built to assume weight roughly evenly distributed on the seat).

But I’ll leave a unit empty before i just throw a body in there to generate income.

She drives a 30 year old Camaro with body damage and bought another junker Camaro (worse than the first) via financing for her 16 year old child to drive. 

This would be a whole another kind of learning curve, but I can't see paying $122/door in Charlotte for $950 blended weighted rent.

The kicker to that is he will have to deliver one month's rent to the court within +-3 days and of course he will notAt that point the appeal will be dismissed and you would have to file for the Writ of Possession for the Constable to come out and supervise you and your crew(yes you will need bodies to move out his stuff).  

It might carry more weight if you keep it coming from others-can you get her personally involved more?

NPV is the current value of all future cashflows discounted to the WACC ( weighted average cost of capital,  or the interest rate that you borrow at).

Asking the seller to find you a tenant probably won't go over well, and if they did, they'd probably put in the first warm body available.

Similarly you need other professionals, just not the same ones (or at the same rate) that syndicators will be paying (because dealing with securities is a specialized body of knowledge)
