Does the landlord have a ‘pain-point’ that needs to be taken care of soon, or does the landlord have room to work with terms?

Paint has been the biggest pain of make-ready on rentals.

Definitely a pain in the butt option but an option nevertheless.The other route you could go if it needs to be strictly an investment property is to find yourself a capital partner who would fund the purchase and reno and be okay leaving some of their money in the deal for a piece of the equity. 

This was a painful learning lesson for me. 

Other types of claims could include family members seeking damages for pain and suffering, in which case, the landlord must have some significant involvement and influence in how and why the suicide took place. 

, "if there was a way to (insert their pain points and how you can resolve them OR insert their desired outcome), would there be anything holding you back from moving forward?"

The seller was so upset about the closing being delayed he wanted to call the whole thing off anyway and has been a huge pain to deal with the whole time- its a FSBO and its been a nightmare from day 1.

@Kory Reynolds I really want the land - just hoping to make it less painful!

And wear gloves and long sleeves, sheet metal has sharp edges.

It would just be a pain to manage barking dogs nextdoor in apartments.
