Recommended, or no? 

Had one flooring store recommend glue down, they said this is better than 20mil 5mm snap in LVP flooring, as the snap ins sometime break and you can easily replace a glue down.Another flooring store recommended "loose lay flooring" basically that is similar glue down, but has sticky material on each board. 

Any recommendations on how I should structure the seller finance deal? 

Yes, we have been doing lease/purchase and lease-options deals for over two decades.The rent+own strategy is particularly relevant when prospective buyers are having a hard time qualifying for a mortgage, either because mortgage rates are high or because prices are rising.Kinda sounds like both are happening right now, doesn't it? 

@Kenneth Soles First off, I have *no experience* here, so I recommend against listening to me ; >  With that out of the way, my inclination would be to have a lawyer do the contact.

1) you have to live in peroperty to use VA loan  or  even a  FHA  or even a low down payment  conventional loan ...underwriters / lenders will need to have a make sense  file / reason to approve this  as they are  aware of the high amount ofoccupnacy  fraud thats happened recently   2)  managing your first  property as a 4 plex  from 3 hours away sounds  like a recipe fro a headache/ problem
