One drawback is that it is 5 units. No 1-4 unit loans. True commercial lending. Good that it is owner financing, bad that it is 25% down and 10%.
Probably bad that it is in a low income area. That would normally mean high turnover of tenants.
I would try for holding the title in a land trust and try to use your money for fix up fith the fix up costs as part of the the 25% down. I would also ask for right of first refusal to buy the note and I would ask for a discount if I could pay it off in the first year or so.
Priortize your expenditures to maximize the returns. Cosmetics are usually less that roofs, HVAC etc and get rents up faster.
Look for a commercial lender to see what you can get for terms and rates. Consider selling after fixup if value has been increased enough.
