Seller Financing vs. Renting Out

[Tyler Sample]

Hello everyone, 

I am making my first rental property purchase and have been having mixed feelings about what I am actually going to do with the house. Would it be more beneficial to fix up the property and sell by offering financing or keep it to rent out? Started straying away from the idea of renting to tenants once I talked to friends that had plenty of horror stories about their rental properties... are there more cons in seller financing than just selling it myself?

Let me know your thoughts!
