I appreciate any direction I can get on here or if anyone has specific lenders that you have experience with that I can reach out to. 

I can't speak to your market specifically but...Talk to LOCAL or regional banks. 

Upon default, our deed of trust specifically allows us to require the borrower to prepay into an account to cover insurance, taxes, or any other unpaid obligations.

Now if there is a specific brand you want at your property, especially if they are a larger or national credit type tenant, they have real estate brokers and criteria readily available on their website or through Costar that you can reach out to and market your vacancies to.

First, figure out what you are trying to accomplish and be absolutely sure this is the right approach for you and your specific situation.  

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.

But not my specific situation, hoping some wise minds can help.  

I remember starting out years ago in the military so even making a marginal, positive impact would be rewarding.After two weeks in searching, there is three houses I am drawn to.

Are there any specific calculators or tools you recommend for analyzing the financial aspects of a seller financing deal?

Thank you,StephanieHi Stephanie,I would highly suggest starting with a call to the Planning Department and let them outline what is feasible for the specific property and what steps you'd need to take to get it where you want to go.
