I mean I am an accidential builder.. having foreclosed on builders in the crash and having to finish the projects... so I have some very special education you only get when it happens to you and you have to figure it out.. was not pleasant. and it cost million or so.. but I got out.. and then I realized Hey since as the lender I am taking all the risk I mine as well just do this myself.so here we are about 150 plus new builds later and things are pretty good.Now to be fair my rock star in Charleston build a home last year then calls me and says OOPS house is 1 foot to low we have to raise it.. that's a brand new 700k home that has to be raised a foot.. cost 30k..

Not sure if some lenders will refinance if the deal is a land contract, if I need to research alternate contract types, or if there is a clause I can use at a certain point in time title is transferred, etc.Please feel free to share any additional steps you take in doing seller financed deals, as well as input to my questions.  

But I've had to start learning that, because there's always a cost - in my case, as a dude with a day job, the cost is in time with my family, my dog, doing fun hobbies, just relaxing and looking at the sky.
