Would you make a deal to build a connection with a seller?

[Nicolas Savvides]

I feel like I met someone today that I can see myself as in 10 years.

He's selling a property that is almost perfect. Except of course its priced for higher then the "perfect" situation. 

He's asking for  more than I want to pay for for my REAL GOAL of creating income. 

How can I make a friend out of this situation? Even if I don't take the house.

I appreciate your thoughts!
