You could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

My advice would be to find investors on BP that have actually done it and arrange calls with them to understand their experience.

If you happen to have any referrals or recommendations for other private leasing arrangements, please let us know.

Very simple its a sales lease back arrangement.. they are selling you a property taking profit on that transaction then giving you a set return and then hope  to rent it out for more than your payment and make the delta.. 

Since I've never done a seller-finance deal I am hoping that the attorney I work with can help me better understand the legal/contractual arrangement and walk me through it a little. 

They suddenly found a key and arranged to drop it off at my real estate agent's office 3 days later.My agent went to the property the next day, opened the door and found furnishings still inside and a tv on.

@Marcus B Hsu Remember that you are providing value and that this is a mutually beneficial arrangement.

In my experience, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for families is key to attracting and retaining guests in a vacation rental.Regarding your question, I would recommend considering the space constraints of the room before adding a twin bunk bed.

I just cannot wrap my head around how that could possibly even resemble being good or acceptable?

Taking equity in lending can get you in trouble, be careful not to get into a security arrangement.
