Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

Then they found an unresolved mortgage (since resolved) and a judgment lien on the previous owner (still not resolved). 

The easy ones are depreciating the property, deducting mortgage interest, and deducting property taxes.

Because jumping from a mortgage to rent does not really solve the problem.
