Does the total of all payments not affect any of the calculations?

We own 4 total properties, two of which are rented out.

if looking to purchase out of state your best bet is a large national bank or to search for a community bank in that location. 

About the same price as DC home but i now live 15 minutes drive to downtown whereas DC home was 1-1.5 hours to downtown, huge difference. 2) total approx 2K sq ft. 3) I wanted quality tenants since I self-manage.

The total expense to fix the property was $1850 but I still wanted to give him something.

If we have an LLC with four total members, can we file our taxes as a partnership or do we have to file as an S-Corp?

And of course, this is anywhere from 3-5% of the total sale price we agree on with the new buyer.

So being on a tighter budget this time around with less time to put ALL my life into flipping a house (at least for now) for a quick sale,  i figure my best bet is to start through a rental.  

Show him a calculation of what you will pay him monthly and what you will pay him in total (sum of all payments) to show him that he'll earn so much more with seller financing than doing a straight sale.Here are some resources you might find helpful:https://www.investopedia.com/articles/mortgages-re...seller-financing-home-sales-30164.html

I bet he can find something that will be a good fit for you.
