Hello everybody! About a year ago now, I moved into a side by side triplex. I live in the middle unit, and the house is in great condition. I’m 21 years old and I have been working hard and saving a good chunk of money to purchase an investment property. I feel more than confident that I’m ready to purchase and I really wanted to purchase the house I’m living in currently(house back). The house is not on the market and I need to approach my landlord about my interest in purchasing the house. I guess my question to everybody on BiggerPockets would be....what is the best way to approach my landlord in this situation? Are there any little tricks I should try that might make him really think hard about selling? Again, I’ve run my numbers, my neighbors are great people and I think it would be an overall great first investment! Sorry for such a long post, but thank you everybody in advance!
