Hi Folks, I am contemplating a future meeting with a potential target, seller, who is interested in financing the deal using seller financing. I would like to read your experiences using this vehicle to close the gap between their expectations and mines. Where can I learn on how to structure a deal that makes sense for both parties?

Seller financing is optimal and doesn't necessary follow a rigid structure. Ultimately it should just land on something that both parties are comfortable with. From your end, you could benefit from some payment relief for the first few months.

Good comments above. One more. Often seller financing amortization period is short and could increase debt service.
