Just hire a 3rd party company that takes care of this for you - worth every penny.

I also want to make sure w seller financing there is an online dashboard i can log in at escrow or title company to track the loan paydown and monthly payments like w any mortgage bank.. did not see that on forums.

I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.  

Living in one unit and renting out the others allows you to deduct 75% of expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and shared repairs as rental expenses, while the remaining 25% applies to personal use.

Personally if you are looking to grow in real estate going the traditional method/way of getting good properties under agreement with traditional financing will get you to where you want to go faster than trying to find all the needles in a haystack.

The macroeconomics are on fire here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.

i think this is a decision only you can make. im in a similar boat (house hacking my primary) and considering renting the whole thing out to get a solo home for myself. certainly a lot of appeal in that, given how much work goes into the house hack. but whether or not the numbers on cash flow align is up to you. personally i dont think $150 (seems like about 12%?)

You'll need to hire a title company to find out. 

Gas company couldn't schedule to turn in gas till 5/6!!!

Does anyone have a good effective 3rd party mailing company to send mailers direct to seller?
