FSBOs wanting OVER market- can creative finance be an option?

Hello! 

My specialization is in lease options (specifically short-term lease options), so I am used to giving sellers FULL market value.  

Where I would like some support is for sellers that want WAYYYYYYY over full market value. 


There are some sellers that want 200k+ over market. I am wondering if any creative finance strategies are applicable to these kinds of situations? For example: note is w/ seller (no bank), price amortized over 30 years , and no interest payments? And even no down payment. And if there is a down payment that is also given in monthly payments over time. Does the higher price no matter if I do NOT need to go to the bank and get a loan and the arrangement between the seller and I cashflows?

What I am worried about is if I want to re-fi at a later date, what happens when the property does not appraise for the price asked for?

Would love some tips.

Thank you so much

Appreciate your response Chris! Especially the nugget about time.

For the deals that do make sense, I like the option of no interest and no down, but Ialso understand the seller needs to agree.
