How to remove deed restrictions from property?

[Shawn M.]

I'm looking to purchase a 3-family investment property but the previous owner (not the one selling it now) received state tax credits (in 2000) to complete a rehab. Now the property can only be sold to an owner occupant with max 80% of the median income. The deed says that this conveys with all subsequent owners for 50 years. Is there any way I can get this restriction removed so I can purchase the property as a non-owner occupied investor? (plus I don't meet the income requirement either)

Come on BP, help me out!
