That's a losing proposition right there, unless you have ulterior motives or know some imminent information which is poised to positively affect the value.I come from an era where you try and get (or create) "value" in a purchase.

I always question ulterior motives of a seller willing to carry back.

Often the municipality has an ulterior motive such as wishing to sell the property to a developer or build a telephone line on the lot or something.

Could there be an ulterior motive involved?

So again, either he is ignorant to how this all works or he has ulterior motives.

@Phineas HowieOh, you're welcome, but of course I have an ulterior motive. 

Well it seems OP has some kind of ulterior agenda here, I'm not sure what.Biggerpockets is a COMMUNITY and all (most) are welcome to participate.

If a post is all positives, it just sounds like your ulterior motive isn't to advertise some "guru" company like flip hacking, i would love to hear the actual details of the journey. 

I'm making my decision from an experience based history with NO ulterior motives.
