Another classic is Landlording: A Handymanual for Scrupulous Landlords and Landladies Who Do It Themselves by Leigh Robinson, but I'm sure there are many other good ones.And of course, congratulations on your purchase of the 4-unit!

I will write a quick disclosure and say that I am relatively new but I have been doing quite a bit of reading on "Seller Financing" between classic owner finance and wraps.

Assuming she has not done any Refi's and she owns the property free and clear this is a "classic owner finance" My personal opinion would be first that you hire an attorney to draft these contracts (always when its a seller finance) the legal fees in Texas (my state) are usually between $700-$1000 for them to draft the contracts & notes for this to legally happen.

Is there a critical mass each of us inevitably reach where we need some outside intervention; such as a mentor that can help us re-purpose that slow ship into something that can cut through the water more effectively?
