I am not "strapped for money" and I don't have or looking for investors so that's why I concluded why SFH is better for me because they sell easier, but given your insight I may reconsider.

However, I am strapped for my own cash to put in and my credit is GOOD but I can't get mortgage loans right now, so using OPM and making a deal win-win for both parties is the challenge I face.

@Parker Mattingly  - First I would call around to other local facilities to see what the average market price is for each unit size and that should give you a great starting point. 

And in return he gets his higher price to boot.2 The realization of the seller, acting as investor, that he can get a higher price and also collect all the interest that would normally go to the conventional lender.It seems to be a win win situation at first glance, but many get strapped and wish the buyer would refinance.

I looked into MATs a long time ago.

Okay a couple quick notes- Just cause I'm curious- 1st picture starting after exterior- the kitchen picture with table- you may want to remove the table- yes the kitchen has eating space but the table where it is also makes kitchen look smaller than it is- Open the kitchen window and take a better picture.Second picture- nice arch and windows- mat in the middle of the walk way looks out of place.3rd picture- Open the window and get some light in the house- remove the cups/plates and just add a runner on the table and then the flowers.4th picture- Umm why is there a outside sitting chair in what seems to be room- confused.5th picture- weird place for the couch- you may want to move it to where the tv is or maybe where the window is-room looks awkward- yeah definately where the window is and then maybe two chairs- some pillows with a bit of color.6th picture- weird thing on wall- tv and mat again in weird place.7th picture- what room is this and why is there a weird shaped sideway window?

As you can see, the principal is only decreasing by about $40/m at this stage (but ever so slowly, increases as a proportion during the life of the loan, so that in another 231 months, the amounts are reversed, leaving only about $40/m for interest and the rest towards the principal, finally*).

We stage bathrooms with fresh towels, bath mats, tissue containers, soap dispensers, shower curtains. 

Long story short, I walked through the property the day after he bought it and found numerous things, haz mat among them, that he tried to have removed but the seller's agent just blew him off.
