Re: selling single-family residential homes for seller financing, as well as my current deal in-process - selling my mixed-use commercial property in rural southeast TN, in a tourist area, to a well-vetted prospective buyer.

Some of it was mistakes on their end due to using two separate databases and confusing this loan with my pending HELOC (we still ended up with a mix up on which closing company to use with which loan).  

I've bought and fixed 2 houses with him and they are rented.He got brought a portfolio of mixed residential and commercial units that are very underented and need mostly cosmetic upgrades. 13 residential, 6 commercial, and a lot currently being used as parking.
