$1,000,000 seller financed deal

[Josh Sterling]

I've been looking for multi family properties for a while and finally came across one where the numbers seem to work, only problem is...they want a million bucks for it.

We have about $100k cash to invest, and they are willing to do a land contract with 25% down (250k) as they own the property outright.

Is there any creative way to pursue this deal being that I am about 150k short? I'm thinking something along the lines of financing it with a commercial mortgage and trying to get the seller to carry back 15%? would that be realistic?

Any other ideas?

Thanks
