Would you still get a QoE report if the seller provides 90% financing?

My take is that a 90% seller note already de-risks the transaction substantially. Of course, due diligence is still essential. However, I also want to weigh the overhead of a three year QoE on a Sole Proprietorship vs. the risks of killing the deal with what may be considered by the owner as too much overhead. 

Deal $1,8M on $600K SDE (to be verified). 

I don't want to skimp on important steps so looking for additional perspectives for this community.

With a Sub 1M net income business i would just do the proof of cash yourself. Unless there are a ton of customers it will be pretty straight forward to business out financials.
