Let’s break it down and explore how you might approach this idea, the challenges you could face, and ways to structure a deal that could work for both you and the landlord.Why the Landlord Might Be Open to SellingThey’ve moved out of state for health reasons and don’t have family nearby anymore, which might reduce their emotional attachment to the property.The idea of simplifying their life and pursuing something like sailing around the world suggests they could be open to letting go of the property if it helps them achieve their goals.With significant equity or potentially owning the property outright, selling could provide them with a substantial cash windfall to fund their future plans.However, their belongings on the property could signal hesitation to let go or simply a logistical barrier they haven’t addressed yet.

Can anyone recommend good companies to root cause  and implement solution to fix this issue?

If you have someone in MN you trust to manage the place that is one thing, if you don't it kind of answers the question (not that you couldn't find one).Renting out homes which you are emotional attached to can be quite difficult when tenants trash them (which will eventually happen).Best wishes

Most only see problems, ever so few see the opportunities and remove emotions to follow the math.  

ESP if you are planning to lowball, an agent might be more reasonable to discuss with (seller might get emotional and offended with your offer).

I get that you are from there so you are getting emotional and taking my comments personal, which were not my intentions. 

They may also be able to temporarily relocate your tenant to avoid any other issues.

.* logistics of maintaining out-of-state property and tenants* having time to research enough about this while moving across the country to be confident in your decisions and planning* having time to research other opportunities, what could be done with the money if you soldReason I bring up the emotional stuff because yeah property is a hassle, but there may be another vision that lets you get everything or most of what you want, with a little bit less hassle, or hassle in a way that bothers you less.
