Using Seller Finance, but needs ton of work?
So I came across a Multi-Family that is currently being rented out, but the build needs a ton of work. Has anyone ever done sellers financing, then done rehab, an turn around an get a mortgage under your own name? Feel like there is a lot of risk to this, but also a lot to gain. Just looking for thoughts.

The main risk to me would be to rehab something you don't own like with a Land Contract or Contract for Deed. You own zip with those until you pay them off.
Mortgage/Deed of Trust only or no deal for me.
