But communicating with the seller (and, for that matter, the end-buyer) would seem to alleviate a lot of the issues on this forum.

@John Montgomery To alleviate the issues of high water table, the plan is to trench and install a sump pump system and divert any future water away from the property.

6 months, it alleviates so much stress and allows you to take your time to get the right tenant in the event of a vacancy. 

This alleviates the unit being open for an extended period of time. 

The state is already massively overcrowded in the cities and you don't alleviate the housing shortage by converting some SFR's to multi family.

I have run into situations where sellers are ready to sell but they don’t want to give up the cashflow, or don’t want to pay a significant chunk of taxes in the year they sell, these concerns can be alleviated with seller financing  

When you communicate your key with confidence, their fears will be alleviated and they will feel more comfortable going through with what you are offering.On the other hand, if you sound unsure of your offer, the seller will not call back or sign the deal.

I'm a cash buyer and can move quickly to alleviate your clients foreclosure concerns by purchasing their house in a win-win situation.

Also, is you do right by each party it can lead to a referral or more business down the line.At the end of the day @Josue Velney hit the nail on the head, you are a problem solver and your focus should be to alleviate the problem that the seller has with this property.

I know that staying organized would help alleviate a lot of the stress that comes from trying to do everything myself but it remains elusive.
