John Horner I'm willing to provide my time and effort into at least conducting deals .

I'll explain how....First, there's something called Global Cash Flow. 

Most importantly it helps people get to know me even though we’re not having a one-on-one conversation.3.BiggerPocketsI’ve posted over 2,500 times over the years and have been rewarded 10x over via the new friendships I’ve made from BiggerPockets  Hope this is helpful for your money-raise efforts as well! 

Anyway, at the end of the day, it's all about the effort you put into this thing right?

Just because they will be putting tenants in the units does not mean that they will be the sort of good tenant that is desirable; chances are good that since they have no intention of ongoing management of the building, that they aren't going to go through the added effort of screening tenants to be certain they will be tenants with good character.  

Remind them that not all states require a landlord to make a reasonable attempt to find a new tenant when the current one wishes to break a lease (and unless the statutes have changed recently in your state Pennsylvania appears to be one state that does NOT require a landlord to do this);  however, if the TENANTS wish to put forth the effort to find a replacement tenant for themselves (passing your screening requirements of course) you will consider allowing them out of their lease.2.

Although its more expensive and takes more effort, you definitely get a high ROI on your marketing compared to the "shotgun" approach. 

Usually when a seller wants to sell he wants to SELL and won't entertain efforts involved for a lease purchase.

However, I haven't really put forth the time and effort to grow my business in the last year.
