Some have SF experience, but almost none have MF, and I would say a large majority have no RE experience at all.  

Of course, rates are higher than what you'd get from a bigger lender on say a $150K loan, but still pretty competitive.

But I would venture to say a stand-alone vacation rental should be and "feel" safer than a hotel room since your not in as close proximity to other travelers, so that could bode well for short-term rentals in the near term.

I would say a big don't when it comes to seller financing is doing the deal just because seller financing is an option - your numbers still need to work. 

Say a total sample size of two dozen properties where they were occupied.
