Seller financing in Orange County

[Trina P.]

My husband and I would love to get into a nicer home and we live in Orange County. We are sick of renting but, if you live around here you know how difficult it is to transition to buying. We really want to live in areas with great school districts but understand it comes with higher prices. We are in our mid-late 20s with excellent credit. We don't really want to go above $2200/mo for either rent or mortgage. We are open to buying a fixer upper but realize it's going to be tricky to get affordable financing.

We are considering seller financing. We actually found this site tonight http://www.notrent.com/

Thoughts? Good idea? Bad Idea? Any other options?

Thanks so much for your help!
