-- How often are sellers entertaining owner-financed deals in your market?

It's a great way to entertain the kids when its raining, etc. 

I would make you start paying me or accelerate the note and no way would I entertain a short sale or note sale.

Our back yard is hardscaped and landscaped for entertaining.

The only reason I am still entertaining the idea is because of the seller financing.

Ask owners if they will entertain owner financing.

., frankly I am surprised that someone with 85 LTR's would even entertain this idea.

Although it's just a guess, the bank doesn't want to entertain offers with the buyer think they can renegotiate after under contract by showing the seller all the things wrong with the property.  

If they didn't do this hike, the market would've reacted the exact way they wouldn't have wanted.What they need to do is sit on it and not possibly do the massive jump and cut like they are entertaining.

My Client would definitely be interested on moving forward to the point of increasing his Offer.HOWEVER, again, it was told to me that there would be no Offers entertained if it included a Finance Contingency.For those who don't really know the NYC Market, I cannot say that "No Finance Contingency" is UNCOMMON because it happens often enough.Any advice, especially from NYC Brokers/Agents would be appreciated.
