Conditions to make it easier for the seller

[Will B.]

I'm buying a property directly from the owner.  We are negotiating the price with no brokers, which I love.   This older gentleman is financially "set" and does not need the money.  I'm buying the apartment cash but I'm short 10 to 15K.    I want to present ideas to him so that my offer looks better.   So far I have the following:

1 – I will take the apartment “as is”. No need for him to do any repairs or cleanups. He can also leave any furniture behind and we will clean up.

2 – Flexibility to close/move in on date at his convenience.

What other suggestions should I make to make my offer better?
