Im not a fan of seller financing unless that property is free and clear and the seller is offering reasonable terms NOT on money they have borrowed. just too many people get into this type of thing without understanding the whole picture, like title being moved into the buyer's name, due on sale clauses... etc. etc. also, just because its a very commonly overlooked guideline which makes financing on 3's and 4's a little challenging: FHA requires the property to self-sustain its own PITIMI by the rents.

I've invested in two of the properties going into the fund and two others.

After about 10 years I have accumulated a fair amount of small multifamily properties. 

There are risks too, when buying condemned and burned-out houses because you may not be able to control the environment where these properties exist.
