Does Using Seller-Financing Affect Your Debt & Credit Report

[Carlos Licon]

I have been looking at single family homes in my market and have noticed that several properties offer seller financing. I am aware that Seller-Financing is a great way to acquire a property but my only concern is that if the loan gets reported to any credit bureaus it will negatively affect your Debt-to-Income Ratio and Credit Score in future loan applications. Can anybody please confirm this?
