Negotiating the price on seller financing?

Hi, I've been in contact with a couple of sellers who are willing to do seller financing or a lease option.

While they seem fairly flexible to the terms of the seller financing, when I get to the point of negotiating the actual price, they aren't willing to budge.

Am I going about this in the wrong sequence?  Should I establish the price first and THEN the terms of financing?

I kinda figure that their mindset is, "Hey, I'm doing the buy a favor by carrying the note for a year or two. Why should I compromise on the price?"

Does anyone have any insight on this type of situation and ways to negotiate this more effectively? Thanks!
