@Eric Black thanks for the help. I found an amortization calculator and following your advice should help me give this seller some options

I have a seller willing to do a seller finance deal on a property they own free and clear. They won't sell it for less than what they put into it around 80k. Seller is open to seller financing but wants a down payment. but unsure how much. This would be a buy and hold.

Purchase Price: $80k
Market rent 1000/mo
15 years and refinance
payments at $400-$500/mo to seller
no idea how much interest or down payment.

Suggestions? I know little to no down payment is preferable :)
 Obviously my first seller finance deal.

I encourage you to get this started now. When I started the one in Grand Rapids / Wyoming MI I started it with about 6 people at a Panera Bread. Every month it got bigger and bigger. Here we are going on almost 2 years and have almost 300 members on meetup.com. It's a build it and they will come scenario :)

I say go for it !

You know the area and have another rental like it, you have the financials in place, and at $31,500 and $600 in rent you're just below the 2% rule so that's pretty good.

Which credit union does that for you?
