The seller doesn't seem to be that motivated if they aren't open to an offer.

Increasing passive income will offset passive losses however I think his motives are to reduce his overall tax liability with what he currently has going on.

@Gina Watkins, generating motivated leads is the hardest part.

What also makes me pause is, even though this is a small rural town, there is another seller trying to unload an 11 unit complex, who sounds equally as motivated.
