Quote from @Jonathan Grzeszczyk: I agree that the motivation and problem is the core, but the first question is always where are you going when we come to a win-win agreement for you to sell me your house.

BRRRR was easy to win at when all the books were written and when it became popular.

Change your story each month as different stories will resonate with different people AND use each story to emphasize one of your “who do you know…” questions.

May this year bring you strategic wins and profitable ventures in an evolving market landscape.

This not only preserves the value of your investment but also enhances its profitability over time.Also, I'd like to emphasize the importance of understanding the local market dynamics, which will help you make informed decisions about where to buy, what to buy, and at what price.

I'm under the impression that if a viable solution is  presented with a clear path for the seller to exit this would be a Win - Win.

The point of the questions above is to emphasize that renting out by the room increases your chances for more problems.

And how do you typically structure those deals to make them a win-win?

May actually be a win-win…the best kind of deal.  

That looks like a win for a first flip these days.
