the answer is in the numbers. don't get distracted just because there's owner financing on the table. run the numbers a few times and if it makes sense the numbers will prove it. if it doesn't the numbers will prove it. don't forget to get your inspector in there. something is a bit fishy as he went from motivated to unmotivated seller....i don't know what's that about. maybe he talk to a neighbor or realtor friend. still let the numbers make the right decision for you.Kudos,Mary
