@Kimberly Hammer thanks!

Here's what buyers should consider before they finalize a seller-financed deal.Don't expect better terms than with a mortgageAs the terms of a seller-financed deal are hammered out, flexibility frequently meets reality.

Using a hammer hoe for any length of time is VERY expensive.  

I don't want to hammer on you, as a relatively new landlord. 

Impossible to chip with a hammer.  

If you are swinging the hammer yourself, do you have the skill set to do a professional job or will it look like DIY?

Doesn't matter if you swing a hammer or work the phone, show some determination and a mentor will find you.

Then they bring down the hammer and you are out of business... at least in that state.

Perhaps this won't be all one big waste, as I fear is most likely, yet another lost and forgotten indicator of how badly this country needs the FIRE movement. depends on the hat you wear.. you guys that are landlords want to give no purchase to tenants that don't pay.and us that loan money we got hammered in the GFC and were the bad guy.. so I understand its polarized.. if you don't want to miss rent or be under the thumb of a mean ole landlord then go buy a house..

What if the tenant destroys the air conditioner, let's say with a hammer, and then demands that a new one be installed at someone else's expense.
