How to indicate I want seller finance without spoiling a lead

I have just been given a few leads but afraid to propose a seller finance option.

How do I propose a seller finance option without spoiling the deal?

Anxious buyer

@Tokie Laotan-Brown I've found from my experience that it's best to go into a negotiation open minded. Don't preset your mind on what you want. You may feel you need owner financing, but if it doesn't meet the seller's needs you may lose a good deal because you went in without an open mind. Find out what they seller needs (wants are good, but needs are what you're looking for). Ask as many questions of proposition as you can. Their answers will point you in the right direction. Good luck.
