I'm not there, so I can't say when to introduce your plan, it could be initially instead of listing or after, her house needs to be listed and sold conventionally, she will most likely be tied to you if you get that one sold, the others will fall under your control.When you employ your plan, you should pull the properties off the market, pull the listing and since these are seller financed, you can apply what would be a commission on the price.

Is there self employment tax on the interest or "other" income?

I found that Churchill Mortgage offers manual underwriting if you have 20% down with enough income, a decent employment record, and several other factors.

Check references, employers, and landlords. 4.

Credit scores, criminal report, rental history with dates, eviction reports, employer information......?

Can't the self employed have it both ways?
