Great conversation and great feedback from Will (Will great finally meeting you at the I survived event a few weeks ago BTW)I am not by any means a seller finance expert, so just want to put that out there :-) Like Will mentions there are many other benefits to seller finance than just price so it is important to be able to help him understand those benefits for the deal to make sense.Having that been said for us personally the way we operate is we only bring up seller financing as an alternative if we can't meet on price and they want more than what we are willing to pay.
