I find many spend unnecessarily on transactional costs and can come out nearly the same without the time and effort.

I wanted to invest for the long term-like buy and hold.

You would calculate an even payment the corresponds to that and then back into your sales price and term.

If the seller is open to seller financing, I was thinking of putting in a full price offer with 10% down and maybe terms of 30 years with 4% interest rate.  

HelloI have a land contract that I’m currently paying on but would like to convert to a longer term (15 yr?) 

**Deadline**This serves as a reminder if you have a house/cabin in Sevier County (unincorporated areas) that you are currently using or intend to use as a Short Term Rental, today is the deadline to apply for the Short Term Rental Permit.

I learned SO much reading and editing BiggerPockets contributors that I turned around and did a bunch of my own deals — a flip, 2 house hacks, 2 short-term rentals, and one long term.

Advantages/disadvantages about a longer-term lease in this situation?

I negotiated terms that were a win/win for both parties.

My research efforts continue...I was a little disappointed to hear about Ohio requiring large bulk purchases (limiting investment to large companies, not sure if I can qualify or what the qualifications would be) and therefore given my geographic location, this may be difficult...
