Would you give high earnest money deposit to get better deal?

[Tyler Speelman]

Hello, Off market recently built duplex (2200 sq ft) with tax abatement. Gross rents are $1400 and below market rent ($1600 = market rent) Seller is all in at $190,000. Duplex is insured for $236,000. Seller is asking 231,000 ($105/sq ft) Seller says Duplex is almost paid off. Seller needs cash for new business venture unrelated to real estate and wants to sell ASAP. If cash offer is not doable - would you offer high earnest money deposit ($100,000) given to seller ASAP and finance the rest with conventional mortgage in exchange for lower purchase price? Thanks in advance for any advice.
