What's Your Seller Finance Story?

[Gina DiMasi]

Looking to hear any and all seller finance stories revolving around you (the buyer) landing a seller finance deal, and all the steps it took to get you there. Did the deal land in your lap somehow or were you actively looking for a seller finance deal? If actively looking, did you find any tactics useful when finding the right owners to agree to this type of deal? How did the deal pan out? 

I've scoured these forums quite a bit but haven't found something that answers this question fully yet.

Any helpful advice or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated! :)
