Biggest advice is get it appraised so you're not overpaying, and do all your standard due diligence (verify leases, security deposits, police calls to the property), as some sellers may try use the seller financing to unload a garbage property. 

Currently lumber prices and labor shortages seem to be two big factors in the price of new construction going up fast.

Right now, lumber is obviously ridiculous and I don't want to overbuild for the area.

As markets heat up it can be harder to find that lower price but great to unload at the higher price and then vice versa in the opposite market.

Happy Friday BP, I've gotten some great ideas by reading through a bunch of creative/seller financing strategies in the forums, but I am wondering if anyone has specific suggestions or ideas for my situation below.Here's the scenario - a lot of moving parts so sorry for the long post - I have attached the seller's financial statement if anyone wants to go all in: The seller is 72/retiring and wants to unload all of his properties.

They're using a third more lumber than stick-built and have extremely strong framing in place.  

Much like Simpson lobbying for $10 worth of their hardware on each piece of framing lumber, the asbestos and lead abatement industry has created a huge business around this

I had to be very creative to unload my properties.Thanks for the comment!

We used Visade 3mm from Lumber Liquidators.

For example just imagine having to repair something with lumber when prices were at its peak.
