How to structure seller Financing on buy and hold
I am seeking my first buy and hold. I came across an investor who owns 60 duplexes in MD and is willing to owner finance for a year. seller is looking to free up some time and selling a few. Numbers are as follows: one side of duplex (2/1) rented for $825. Other side same size needs approximately 30k in rehab and will rent for $825+. Arv is estimated between 125-135k from identical properties. Seller is willing to owner finance and may possibly finance rehab and asked me to submit an offer but will only finance for a year. He is asking 80k and price is not negotiable. I need some help on how I could structure this, as this is my first buy and hold. Any suggestions are appreciated.

As an update I decided to pass. As a first time buy and hold investor I don’t feel this was a good option. A coworker lives in the area and said it is drug infested and cops there all the time. More than I want to deal with! Looking at a duplex 4 miles away for $115 and total rents $1500 and one unit is $200 under retail. This sounds more doable for me to manage!
