I've finally found a property that could be a good fit for my primary residence- if I can get a good price on it.

I have never purchased an investment property before (although I do own my primary residence), let alone done a seller financing deal.

The first step I did to raise capital was refinance my primary residence. 

Typically, we conduct background checks on only the individuals who are responsible for the lease (primary resident) and/or cosigners.

I would tell people today that if you buy a primary residence expect to stay in that home for atleast five years, especially with a FHA loan which has lower down payment as the current forecasts for home appreciation or very low which with closing costs on the buy and sell, it will take several years to have equity in the property and enough to be able to sell, so that is something also to consider.
