Any hints on how to avoid running into due on sale clause?

Hint; It won’t be the Maytag guy !

Try seeing how that works in San Diego, hint: it doesn't. 

Hint, Tree service companies(timber states), every property manager you can find, every real estate agent you can find, any mortgage broker in the desired zip code, county taxation dept loves free pizza Fridays.

[Hint: consider using that approach - even if it's not going to be knocked down this time around!]

I'm not sure if this is how these Agents usually work, but he drops a hint of, "Maybe make an offer for $205K", you never know.

Once the conversation starts, you will slow try to get a feel for the conversation and try to hint to him that maybe you are interested in starting your real estate career with your parents current rental and see if he would like to part with it. if he express some interest, then that is where the negotiation start, however if he doesn't express any interest in selling this house to you, ask if he has other properties that he wants to sell off.

They didn't come out and say they want me to pay but are hinting at it. 

(Hint, I'm going for cash flow)I need to come up with a plan.
