Minimizing taxes is the tail wagging the dog IMO.

Offer him a choice, $10 for a flex option or $50 for a straight option.If he doesn't bite at any of these three offers, I would put him on my follow up in 3 months list.and move on, and keep looking for that heads I win, tails you lose deal.

The search this week had 12 and there wasn’t one below $100K.Car Magnets – I have a magnet on each door and on my tail gate.

I've asked this question before at the tail end of another thread....I've seen you metion about making offers on 25 properties and possibly getting one.

Investor for quick cash,whole tailing it just making small improvements like carpet and paint and selling,or a full rehab to sell at the retail level.Each will have their own margins of profit and expected time lines for making that profit.If you buy correctly you can move any property.They key is buying at the correct price.A great source is local and regional banks,national banks,and the FDIC.Remember that anything pre-1978 you will get hit with the new EPA renovation rules regarding lead based paint and it can get very expensive.Never deviate from your low pricing.You don't want a bad decision to end up being a rental that will haunt you for years to come.I would rather have my money sitting on the sidelines then to buy into a bad or marginal deal.
