Buying a portfolio of houses from a retiring owner

[Matthew Yrungaray]

I am looking at approaching a couple that owns a dozen or so investment properties. The wife wants to sell and the husband is unsure. I was trying to come up with a scenario that would be a win-win for both parties. I was thinking that we could offer them guaranteed income in exchange for their interest in the properties. I was thinking that a sale might be a harmful taxable event for them. As well as them may have a hard time replacing the income with traditional investment methods. How might we structure an agreement that would give them income, help them get favorable tax treatment and help us acquire more properties? Thanks for any insights
