If they reduce price by the cost of the expenses plus a little bit for time it is the same property that you were willing to buy and hold except a lot of things will be brand new and less likely to break in the near future.In terms of negotiating don't expect much more than the contractor's bid off the purchase price if these sellers aren't too emotionally involved. 

Current LayoutPotential Layout will increase the rent by $200-$300 If you are doing it for emotional reasons, "it feels good to move kitchens around" go for it. 

I believe to be emotionally invested in this because I found this property myself.

I’m not looking to sell, maybe just too emotionally attached to the house.

Originally posted by @Brian Garlington:You can play it one of two ways......If she is a good tenant, tell her you need to add the ghost as a new tenant on the lease and you will need to now raise her rent.If she’s been a bad tenant then start the eviction process because she has told you after the fact that she has had someone move in and this wasn’t part of the original lease agreement  What if they claim the ghosts are Emotional Support Spirts?

It is hard to think clearly when you're thinking emotionally.

@Stephen Meche Just be aware if you push back too hard they can easily go online and get an emotional support animal letter and you will loose the ability to charge an additional deposit, evict, or do anything else other than say "ok, you win". 

There is logic in wanting to pay off a personal home for emotional reasons, none in regards to paying off a investment income property.

How do I convince homeowner to take my offer on there home when they are emotionally attached to home?

Buying a primary residence is very personal  & emotional decision so I think most investors/BPers will advice against it.
