Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

Most propane suppliers will offer a discount if you purchase your own tanks outright, I save around $1.00 per gallon.

You are definitely going to want to get a lawyer and as soon as possible.This will sound harsh.In your story, you have made a number of very poor decisions about how you purchased and managed this property. 

This will be a straight up listed property and a purchase just to see the process on a Commercial/Industrial property.
