On these sloping lots you need to be hyper aware of where you can place your septic tank and drain field.

I will need to use my money to make Mortgage, Insurance and Tax payments on it until I can get it with a Vacation Rental company (I use Vacasa)  I have a good job making over 6 digits that I plan to keep working at for another 5 years unless I sell this house and do really well which is highly possible from my experience unless the market tanks similar to 2008.

Those buyers that do have a reasonable plan to satisfy this requirement -- such as deeding to a trust settled by the current owner and later changing the beneficiary of the trust -- don't have an escape plan for when the asset stops cash-flowing or the lender calls the loan.Unless you have considerable cash on hand (or accessible) to deal with the potential storm when the market tanks or the loan is called, it may be best to just work the deal out with the seller and learn how to do your own title search and deed prep.
