Guaranteeing Sellers Exit by Offering Inflated Purchase Price

[Brandon Sturgill]

I have a seller-finaced duplex that I am negotiating currently. Sellers are generally good on mortgage/note terms, but are seeking more security. I am ok offering a purchase price slightly higher to compensate for the estimated discount they can sell the note for. Has anyone used this technique to complete an acquisition. 

Moreover, what type of guidance would you give the seller to sell this note as quickly as possible?
