Usually owners who are willing to entertain seller financing want to see that the buyer has a track record of owning (and successfully paying on) multiple properties, so they can feel reasonably assured they will get paid on their own (seller financing) mortgage.But, that said, there's no harm in asking a potential seller if they have a mortgage and if not, if they'd be willing to take payments over time instead of all at once (i.e., seller financing).

MFH has been on my mind for a long time, and something I certainly will be entertaining. 

There are a lot of great resources here on Bigger Pockets, such as the forums, several great e-books, and the entertaining & informative podcasts.

Our goal is to create a "premium" product above a mere form lead, where we actually screen the homeowner, and guarantee that they will entertain a below-market offer -- in other words, to deliver ready "deals" instead of "leads." 

More of an entertainment value, but still good to pick up some information.

Tell him you will entertain a fee for walkthroughs - though, personally I wouldn't entertain more than $30-$50 for a 30-45 minute walkthrough and I would be carefully evaluating the input provided.

I’m a producer based in Los Angeles, California where I'm blessed to be following my passion in entertainment. 

The seller may not be willing to entertain this, but then again they might if you ask. 

I'm entertaining the idea of managing it myself, however, I live ~4 hours away and this may not be feasible.If anyone has insight on managing remote, it would be greatly appreciated!
