I am in negotiation with one company where I initially shared that I would be willing to buy the property in order to get the seller more cash up-front instead of raising the deal price. However, now that I've seen the operations, I don't think the location is well suited for the long term, so buying probably isn't wise.

Any creative ideas on how to get the seller more funds upfront without having to commit to the property over the long term?

The estimated value of the property is $600k, so I'd assume that's too small to do a sale-leaseback (or especially if I didn't want to enter a long term lease).
