I need math Help on a seller financing deal

I am working on a seller financing deal and I am looking for some resources on the math/formula part of it.   I need to create a detailed spreadsheet with the full amortization schedule that allows for quite a bit of flexibility - such as increasing the payments every 5 to 10 years, making extra lump sum payments at different times, etc.  

I am trying to start from a specific monthly payment and then work around the numbers to get to a point where everyone is happy.  

Does this make sense?

Well then, you will have negative amortization, the principle balance rising, while making the reduced payments.  Expect any seller to have reservations about this, as I would.
