Acquiring Property from an Owner w/ a Hoarding Disorder

[Account Closed]

Hey all! I live in a condominium complex above a unit that's owner occupied. The current owner is believed to have a hoarding disorder, which is likely given what I've noticed about the unit and his car since moving in. (I'll spare you those details.) The owner is an elder, single man who has lived in that unit for approximately 30 years. I've been told that he's very stubborn about letting anyone into the unit, and mostly keeps to himself. (I've only seen him a few times, and he does not really respond when I said hello.) I've also been told offhand by my HOA management that this owner is delinquent in HOA fees; so, the investor in me thinks that acquiring this unit (off market) may be a great opportunity for he and I both.

My partner and I discussing how to approach/reach out to this owner, and wanted to see if anyone else has had any success convincing someone with a hoarding disorder to sell you their home. Any tips or details we should be privy to? I understand that hoarding is a disability, so we would like to approach the owner in a delicate manner.

I look forward to any feedback!
