The BRRRRR method is a part of the buy and hold method just with a twist on refinancing on the backend to cash out your equity.

Find the house which has potential as a buy and hold investment, find the owner and gently make contact stating that you are interested in buying a home in that neighborhood and if he/she has ever considered selling could we possibly meet for coffee and speak of the possibilities.Yes, it is slower.

This is especially true if a lawyer contacts you as they tend to like twisting your words. 

Him potentially having to move, uproot, pack, find a place to live, etc. is threatening and unfamiliar - you both know why you're there, you'll get to that topic eventually.Do not talk about yourself.Once you gently meander through the 'genesis' convo, bleed in to asking him what he values; that's the question, and pose it genuinely, "I would love to better understand what you value...and what's the best example of someone exemplifying that value to you?" 

I'd send a Notice to Correct along with a gentle, friendly letter stating that they are violating xxx paragraph of the lease they signed. 

Be gentle if the question is stupid please :)
