It looks like you're taking advantage of the great materials here to educate yourself.

I have read many contradicting forums and articles about where I should start, but both come back to getting educated.

The education has been incredible.I currently work as the Head Brewer at a brewery in San Diego, where I am able to enjoy some pretty great benefits.

Some options would be to hold the money in your account for that long before purchasing and pay 3% during that holding period, co-sign with them, or have them purchase the property and do a quick claim deed later [though this can possibly, but unlikely cause a due-on-sale] into an LLC. 

If they have permission from the previous owner, no adverse possession.Its continuous for the required period. 

One of the ways Seller Financing can be most valuable is if you can get the Seller to agree to either an A) low interest rate, B) low down payment, C) flexible timeline options (no interest for a certain period, payment once you get other deals in the pipeline, things like that).

We have already increased our knowledge through all the great information available here on Bigger Pockets and look forward to continuing our education.   

Or would I have to wait a longer period of time before I could get rid of the house?

Well my partner @Kevin Moen is a Note School alumni and has done very well from the education he recieved.

I can tell you that despite some vacancy periods over the last 7 years (and one that lasted about 8 months one time awhile back), they are all very much cash flow positive.
