Seller Financed Deal - What am I missing?

Hey community,

I have a verbal agreement with a seller to buy his property with seller financing.  This is my first deal with seller financing so I would like to know if there's anything I'm missing.  

Details:

- Multifamily: 4plex

- Purchase price: $260k

- Down Payment: $20k

- Interest Rate: 5% amortized over 30 years.

1.  See the insides of property myself.

2.  Hire an inspector.

3.  Hire a lawyer

4.  Write out contract with lawyer

5.  Send seller the contract

6.  Contract gets signed by both parties

7.  I go to a title company and claim the property is mine?? (a little clueless on this step)

8.  Property is mine?

Am I missing anything?  Is my order of operations valid?  Anyone have experience with seller financed deals.

Missing the type of seller financing.

Doesn't matter how good the deal is if you have no ownership.

No LCs or CFDs.  Do some digging and good luck.
