How to make a competitive offer to a seller doing a 1031 Exchange

[Gabe Capoferri]

I am looking to buy a multi family and the listing agent noted that the seller is doing a 1031 exchange. Unfortunately we cannot offer the full asking price because we are not approved to do so. I would still like to make an offer and want to find other ways to make our offer more competitive. 

From what I have read, providing a flexible closing date is the best thing you can do since the seller will only have 45 days to get into another property. Is there anything else I can do to stand out in my offer?
