So a question back to you then, would those same enticements still be needed in order for you to purchase or not really anymore. 

There may be other areas for sure that may be more enticing.

Maybe you could approach & add that as an enticing post-addendum to the current 'financial' agreement.We 'post-collected' $23,000 in interest over a similar 'extended' period on a 'flip' property we paid $20k for at a Tax Lien auction.

Most of the time it was a hook and ladder session where it was more centered on giving just enough information to get you enticed to buy the program.

We would plan to pay him in full within a year or so of purchasing it from him (just need to bridge the gap between time of purchase and time the house is in good enough condition to get a mortgage on it ourselves).For him, it would mean not having to pay for the remainder of the renovation himself, property taxes, insurance etc so I can see that being a benefit to him - and who knows, it might even take him several more months of work to get the building sold without our offer (it's already been on the market for 2 months).If anyone has any thoughts on how to make a strong, enticing offer, we'd love to hear them.Thanks,Catherine

I didn't want to say anything because I wanted to keep a good rapport with them, and get them to renew (I offered a $200 incentive at renewal when they signed the lease in order to entice them into renewing), but that obviously didn't work.The back yard all along the fence line and by the porch was destroyed from the dogs.I've been told that I cannot deduct the repairs to re-seed the yard along the fence line because I had dogs when I lived there, and I did not take "before" pictures...They also had the utilities turned off, and I had to have the utilities turned back on for the fridge.

The Sellers Disclosures are all unknown.Although it is very enticing at buying a home for $8k, We are unsure if this would even be worth it considering the areas low ARV.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe they need to understand your vision (how fast you plan to grow, etc) or you need to wait until you have something more enticing to offer.A lot of people wake up and decide they want to invest in real estate, but how many wake up and say they want to PM other people's properties?!?

And what would entice someone to do so.

Still, I'm always open to seeing an enticing proposition, especially if it's in my own backyard.
