Quote from @Hector Espinosa: Hi,I'm negotiating a seller financing deal which may be my first one and would like to ask for some advise about and what are advantages and disadvantages about seller financing deals.These are the seller financing terms:House Price: $330,000.00 USD​ (Sellers still owe ~$301,000 USD)Down Payment: 5% = $16,500 USD​Loan Amount: $313, 500​ (Monthly payments will be amortized as a 30 years loan​)Interest Rate: 4.531%Balloon Loan Term: 5 YearsMonthly Payment (P&I): $1,594.24​Closing Costs:  ~$3300 ​Zip Code: 74105Observations:       * HVAC requires an update but pending to inspection (replacing with a new one will cost ~$10,000 - $15,000 USD )     * Expected Rent Income: $2,000- $2,300 but this is has been really complicated to get a good estimate because is all over the place in the different sites I have checked
