If you're willing to do that you won't have issues getting a loan based on what you're saying.  

We are finding from our projections that the UDFI tax is almost a non issue as you also get to take depreciation on the financed portion and they come out to a wash more or less.

When a note gets sold to another company, the buyer has no say in if/how that gets done - - just notice of where to send the next payment.(4) The Purchase Offer (or Commercial Offer) look exactly the same for Seller financing.(5) But of course - - the escrow/title company will issue a Settlement Statement and your expenses are noted there.
