Sell for $400k, he'll carry $100k of that interest only, and gift 10k/year for 10 years.I really don't want to pass this up, but putting in the amount of money needed for a tiny bit of cash flow, or losing money each month for a couple years would risk running out of money and pushing me back to a regular job.Would you pass on it?

@Jim Doyle- thanks   1) consider increasing the purchase price by the amount of the elec and roof  work that needs to be done  and then assist  seller with  getting the work  scheduled and completed  ( as this will be required to be donw before closing ) ..this way the  seller  is technically  paying for the  repairs  and they wont lose  any  proceeds ....they will pay a little  extra  wa state sale excise tax  but  that  wont amount to too much  2)  consider  putting less down  and using some of your funds to pay for  the repairs  ( or part of the repairs )   3)  consider using a rehab loan  4)  consider  keeping the price  where it is and asking for the sellers to complete  repairs  (  this likely wont happen)  5)  get roofer and contractor  estimates and get them  lined up to do the work asap  as it might takes  weeks to get this scheduled / done  6)  ask seller for  extension on closing date if the  work  will take  longer than 10 days ,,,Good luck
