That is not a benefit for you, nor any kind of evidence that they are worthy of becoming a resident.That issue aside, I would not allow someone with a recent eviction on my property unless the "unfortunate circumstance" was unlikely to recur AND they otherwise have a strong historical track record of making payments AND they would put down a very large security deposit.

I bought on in about 85 in Northern CA .. and circumstances were a lot like this..

This is too important and also sort of a personal question depending on your state and specific circumstance and I suspect not a one size fits all answer would suffice.

The only exception to this is if life circumstances happen and you CAN'T.

In some very attractive markets like coastal cities I can see it being worth it not to rent the unit or rent it only under very limited circumstances in the low season because the high season is just too lucrative to allow anything to affect those bookings.

I’ve used seller financing as both a buyer and a seller and it can make a lot of sense in certain circumstances (for example I used it as a buyer when I reached the maximum number of conventional loans I could get, and I’ve used it as a seller to both increase my net proceeds (due to collecting interest as “the bank” in addition to the sales proceeds) and to lessen my capital gains tax hit by spreading it out over a few years).

I have experienced some of these very circumstances, and in California.
