I think our last set of plans took 5-6 months approval time (this may have gone down now). - Construction is more expensive.

We are hoping to break even at this point with the plans for appreciation.

I brought equity by designing the plans and managing the build.

My plan so far has been long term rentals, but, recently, the idea of short term rentals crossed my mind.

If you are partnering with them for their cash, then partnering for that purpose is likely more expensive than financing if you actually execute according to your plan.

However, when my program ends in roughly 4 to 5 years, I plan on moving back in with my parents (in the Dallas-Fort Worth area) and saving to buy my own place.

The point is to get educated and try to limit your risk in an intelligent well planned manner. 

Writing the Contract:**It's highly advisable to consult with a real estate attorney who can draft a comprehensive contract that outlines all the terms and conditions of the seller financing arrangement.

One that has experience in the investor field and can help shape your investment plan.
