Of course, also use rents on the conservative end and I would want to know in MI if the units are individually metered on heat (like my fourplex) or if I picked up the tab for heat for each unit.

Additionally, we use a third party to run the laundry room and I am told that they do very well money wise.

Not only can you have all the benefits previously mentioned but you can sell at a higher price than market when following a Lease Option with Owner Financing and you don't have to worry about third party approvals such an appraisal when selling with Owner Financing.What I've found in Texas, and don't know where to find in your state, is something that super charges my owner financed sales. 

If you want to foreclose on a tax certificate you have to pay off all other certificate holders.....and if the property has real value it will go 3rd party at the tax deed auction and you'll recover your costs. 

State Farm has gotten a lot more conservative these past few years.
