A way to get started ?

[Kevin Van Dyke]

So I’m renting right now and so tired of making somebody else rich. My wife and I like our house but very soon need something bigger. My landlord also owns the house right next door. We’re thinking about trying to ask our landlord if he’d sell both houses to us. I feel like it’d be a good way to get started but I’m not sure if my landlord would go for it. I would offer 100k for each. I pay $895 and my neighbors pay $1,000.

I guess I’m looking for ideas for how to best go about making the offer.
