Would Seller Financing Work for ME?

Details.

1 rental property great renters, they are interested in buying it one day.

2. I owe 90k on original 100k loan @ 5% =$535 or $735 (payment + tax + insurance )

3. Currently rents for $870

4. Current market value on zillow is $130k

I just had 3 rd baby and thought seller financing might work to lessen the landlord load while still providing passive income.

My thoughts are sell for 135k with $10k down at 6.6%=$800 or $1000 ( payment + tax + insurance )

I have heard about banks calling the loan at sale ? would that effect this situation?

Does my existing loan need to be much less or is $90k ok?

Can the loan be for 30 years or is 5 to 20 more common?

Am i missing other cost or fees?

I like the idea of increasing cash flow from $135 a month to $265 almost double.

At this point trading the possibility of long term equity growth for increased cash flow and decreased phone calls at 1:00am seems worth it at this stage of life.

Thanks in advanced and sorry if this is a silly idea.

P.S. even if i don't go this route on this deal i would like to learn more about it. Any good books or resources would be a big help.
