I am very new to any form of USDA financing, but I am not sure how to make it work for me here.Using a more conventional commercial mortgage or construction loan may work, but the current owners live in the property and have only rented the place out while they were out of town, thus it has netted much less than it is is capable of and P&L is lite.

Contract for deed is often used to allow the buyer to move in while they are preparing to qualify for a conventional loan (to pay off the contract for deed terms); The seller is provided with immediate income; buyers, this can be a way to move into a property they intend to own while avoiding renting from the owner; owner can often command a higher monthly payment under these terms than they could in a rental arrangement; contract for deed may be seen as a last resort for a seller who really wants to cash out their equity quickly. may be local legal restrictions on these arrangements, including restrictions on "repossessing" the property; seller should definitely consult an attorney.
