The seller has given me the option for them to carry the down payment of up to 20% of the purchase price at 5.25%, am over 30years.Each unit is currently rented on 1 year leases.What else should I be thinking about before making a decision on this property?

Buyer put down 30% down and I carried back a note of $140K with monthly interest only.
