Seller is someone flexible as he owns the house free and clear, but thinks he is "too old to finance long term".Any ideas how we can move forward?

I don't start my new job for another week or two so I'm pretty flexible.

Additionally, I have a decent amount of flexibility at this job and experience large periods of downtime on a daily/weekly basis. 

. - Lot more inventory to work with (flexibility)- I see many affordable homes 150k-250k range and multi unit homes around 250-400k range- Thinking of buying between or near UNLV university/ main strip so I have faculties, staff, students from the universities as well as employees from the casino/hotel- Property Tax is cheaper (but can be a con in other states).Con & other inputs: - I feel like Las Vegas have short term residence more than long term residence (most of the properties seems to be owners who are not purchasing to live but to use it as vacation home or short/long term rentals.... so many properties can be vacant and potentially allow squatters/long eviction process)- Nevada law require a "responsible" person aka landlord/property management within 60 miles - Distance (I like to buy my properties locally because I can stop by or fix something if needed either by myself or contractors that I work with/familiar with- Property Management fees since long distance - Finding a property management company that is reliable and trustworthy. - Unfamiliarity with the area/surroundings- Lower Rent compared to CA but I know I can't compare apples and Oranges (But I don't want to invest just to break even)------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tax questions ***Some state does not have tax on income(?)

That and owning his own jet allows him more flexibility and maximizes him more time to spend with his family. 

There are Private Lenders out there will not only loan you the acquisition funds but the repair/rehab money that are 100% lenders and more flexible. 

Even though I had a brain annurism and a stroke my wife elected to keep me alive and I hope to be able to pay her back someday.I'm very lucky that I had a flexible schedule and was able to spend much time with our daughter until she was 15.

That advantage is they can be more flexible on terms and what it takes to qualify for a loan.  

An individual (like a person who just wants a better return on their money in a CD, 401K, etc...) may have the same terms as a traditional hard money lender but I've found they have more flexibility. 

I especially like the flexibility of this type of loan product and the low interest rates.
