I want to use his flexibility to our advantage and use that time to shop but am not sure if an offer would be considered at all in this competitive market based on this circumstance. 45 days really isn't a lot of time to find a needle in a haystack which is exactly what I think we may be looking for. 

Game plan is sometime on Saturday maybe shoot for beers, or soda if drinking isn't your thing, and just talk shop for a bit. 

You can also get way better deals from regular seller on Craigslist or OfferUp/Facebook...But a shop with warranty is little less risky if you aren't personally inspecting the unit.

@Scott Passman I would first settle on a market, then spend some time visiting the market, attending local REIA there, window shopping on TK or wholesale deals in the market, so you start to become more comfortable with what is out there and what you are willing to settle for. 

Now have a resale shop in the back 3000sf and a Game Room in the front 3500 sf.
