I decided not to pull the trigger as I didn't want to invest in the new machines, but I like the fact that they run their system off blue tooth so you don't have to have internet you pay for. 

In exchange, He gets a 3br apartment, and all his utilities covered except TV and internet.

@Joseph R FornwaltIt is possible to become a GP in a deal for raising money but I don't believe you can collect a referral fee (as others have said, ask an attorney, I'm not one and I'm also just some stranger on the internet).

It has a treacherous road and no internet.

You'll want to have internet as well for what you are looking at.

Ok, I have browsed the internet, asked real estate professionals, and dug through my real estate investing books but I still cannot fully grasp the concept of seller financing from the position of a buyer looking to invest in a rental.

Are the written agreements strong or are they something someone just found on the internet? 

If that's the route you want to go, I would highly recommend working with a HML in your local market as opposed to just some random HML you find on the internet.

Also, your renters may want certain things in place, like working internet.

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.
