I paid attention.

I’d recommend going with a broker as they usually have better interest rates, and paying attention to rates (mortgagenewdaily.com) to see if they’ve fallen since you locked your rate and you could potentially float down to a better interest rate

Unfortunately, the tenants have stopped paying rent and I need to evict.

Start by learning the real estate basics, study the market, set your goals, get a team of experts, make friends in the field, look into how to pay for it, begin small then grow, do deep checks, and go for it.

Therefore, since this loan will end up sitting on the lender's balance sheet, you should be prepared to pay an interest rate that would make sense for that lender to have their money tied up without earning the additional income they would earn from selling their loans at a premium on the secondary market and being able to re-lend and keep flipping the money. 

Or you can DIY from Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, thrift stores and furniture stores.But is there anyone you can pay to help you DIY, to take advantage of local offerings and your own labor, while still not doing it wholly on your own?

Although the days of cash flowing a house hack are gone (for now), cutting your living expenses down and using OPP to pay most of your mortgage is pretty great!

What I know about this house is that there should be no mortgage (messaged realtor to verify), last sold for $60k in 2004.Rent in my area; $1,200 is usually pushing it but doable.https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/200-Walnut...At the end of the day, I love the idea of seller financing but I have many more questions when it comes to different types of properties that might be mortgaged and how does one pay the monthly payments on top of paying the equity to the seller at the same time.

This affords the opportunity for a homeowner to sell the property if it is not under water for market value and pay off the loan before they are foreclosed upon, or more commonly, short sale the property with the bank's approval. 

But I do not want the place to be lost while this is in progress.As a tenant in common am I responsible for only 1/3 share of the delinquent taxes, and by paying my 1/3 will my name be removed from the lawsuit?
