Is this seller finance deal worth it? My first ever!!

[Mike Sands]

So this would be my first deal ever! I found a home in the central MD area seller is offering to finance the deal. Home is worth roughly $70,000 on the market he will finance for $3500 down and $450 a month for 30 years with a 7.25% interest rate. The home currently has a tenant and they want to stay he’s warned then of the possible sale and that within a few months I can increase rent to $800-$850.Taxes are $1604 a year and insurance rings in at $650 annually. Tenants pay for everything except trash and sewer which is about $85 every 3 or 4 months he tells me. Home is in good condition just minor cosmetics if I choose to touch up on he says. I go view the home Saturday, my question to you is this a good deal? Should I be jumping on this as my first ever? the numbers make sense but maybe I am looking at it wrong I really would like an experienced eye to view this deal and give me advice on how I should structure it and if it’s worth a go or not, I really thank you for taking the time to view my post and read it! Your help with be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

No deal for me. Payments are too high compared to rent. you're over $650 per month before maintenance, property management, capital ex reserves, etc... Looks like you'll be losing money on a monthly basis. The only way I would do that deal is if you could raise the rent significantly, to at least $1000. At that point it's a deal worth doing.
