How can I strike a deal where they can still receive some income from the property, but I can purchase the home and make my share and eventually (1-2 years away) own the home and eventually get full profit from this 8-unit property.

I was cold calling an off market property and the guy laughed at me because I asked if he would take somewhere around an 8 cap (obviously i didnt say this, I gave him a ballpark number) and he shared with me that these properties are trading at 5.3 cap.
