I suspect the next place will be temporary (1-2 years), unless it's a super great deal, so that means those move costs will make an appearance again in a short time period.

Studies have showed that many of the most successful business people in the world are sociopaths.They are able to make business decisions without being encumbered by the frailty of human emotions.

A photo of the building exterior and front entry is always helpful.Be ready to handle the service animal question, whereby a person with a qualified disability who has a legitimate service animal or emotional support animal (ESA) can't be charged the "animal rent".I like the layout of the ad.

Your offer needs to be empty of emotion.  

It takes an extreme level of emotional intelligence and a sense of compassion to work with these sellers.

I'm not selling days in my home, I'm selling a temporary luxury experience to my guests. 

If you can expand upon why your belief is better and remove all emotions out of the equation, then you may be able to convince him.  

From what I understand it is bad practice to rent back to the seller...he is having financial problems affording the house so technically he wouldn't qualify to rent it if he went through a normal tenant screening so I would say it is a better bet to find new tenants and tell the seller he has to move at COE...think about the emotional attachment a seller would have to house he used to own but now has to rent...

The glitz glamor and drama of the retail world are where decisions are made on fads and a pool of sappy emotions - none of which are factors in my buying criteria.

If you graduate in May, go get a temporary job/career in your field and use that income to pay your bills.
