Thanks for your assistance.Lavaud,I'll be the odd one out in this thread and suggest a Windows laptop, they tend to be cheaper and, because I build computers, I like the freedom/ability of being able to shop around / customize it to my specific liking.With that, it really depends on what you'll be doing with the laptop, ie: basic email, MS office, BP or video rendering / editing for your listings-walk through, future rehabs etc ?

Specifically, if you’re looking at seller financing, assuming buy and hold investing, comparing the 2 offers below 1.Seller Finance: $250K, 5% down, 30yr @ 2.5% = $11,261 yearly debt service2.Seller Finance: $184K, 5% down, 30yr @ 5% = $11,260 yearly debt service Over the life of the loan, the total cost is the same, the only difference would be the ratio of interest to principal in the total payment.
