If you're selling a single-family home to an owner-occupant (I don't know if you are) – the "perfect" seller-financed note is 20% down, 10% interest, 10-year term.

We're certainly not perfect, but I can assure you that we care deeply about the investor, the resident, and the Jacksonville community. 

@Jackie Riley, Asked and answered by @Michael Plaks perfectly as always! 

It would be perfectly fine to purchase as tenants in common, and as long as Cousin A purchases is at least as much interest as the net sale of the old property.

Maybe you can if you already have a perfect SAT, make a large donation to the school, and have a personal relationship with the head of admissions. 

Not perfect, but works well for our clients:)

Are you looking for cash flow, safe neighborhood or bringing a property out of the abyss to perfection?  

Even with general security agreement, you would still stack behind any lienholders who are already secured and perfected or even who have secured positions on any personal assets. 

So, updating a 1940s ranch is a perfectly reasonable sounding thing to do.

The reality is you would really be renting to and depending on the husband whom you can not screen.To be honest I have never had a perfect applicant so it has always been very easy to justify rejecting any applicant for a reason that is not discriminatory or a violation of codes.
