How to inquire about the owner financing the deal?

[Anton Taylor]

I've recently been doing a lot of reading on the forums about seller financing. I recently viewed a property and learned the seller is recently married and decided move in with his wife. I would love to work out a seller financed agreement but never attempted to pursue a seller with this option.  During our conversation the owner mentioned he didn't rent the property because he doesn't want the headache. The property has been on the market a little over a month and they've received 1 offer that he thought was very insulting. This made me a little hesitant on inquiring about owner financing. However, I've gotten over it and feel ready to move forward after looking at the numbers.

It seems pretty simple to just ask if he is open to owner financing?  Oh yeah, his wife is the listing agent!
