Yeah it's becoming more common around here. I don't see too much of a downside doing this and I don't need the full equity immediately or anything so making interest on rent, effectively, and removing my duty to repair and whatnot seems pretty nice.

I’m a total idiot but just my initial thought… if you really just want long term “income” from the sale of your house why not just sell the house and put the money in a 30 year CD/Treasury ladder and skip the risk of the new buyer defaulting?
Edit:
uhhh… this does not sound like a “benefit”
For Sellers:

Evicting and repossessing a house sounds like a pain in the ass to me. I still don’t see the advantage over just investing whatever you make off the sale of the home.

I am by no means a housing expert, but I am in this camp here. Why deal with that mess? Take the cash from the sale and invest it and move on with your life.

A seller's note generally goes to someone having an issue getting a mortgage (for various reasons). This being the case you can charge a higher than average interest rate on the note. Also, in a soft market, the seller not not want to wait months/years to get a sale if they have someone willing to buy now on a seller note. More than likely they either refi or sell it down the road so I doubt anyone is holding it to term.

I mean, "reverts to him" is a nice way of saying you'd have to foreclose, evict them, and then probably completely rebuild your now shit-housed property after they completely trash it, but yes, technically you are correct.
