If they decline or do not respond (in 3 days I think) you have the option to escalate. 

My town is pretty ADU friendly, is that an option (requires bigger chunks of cash or lending options)?

Can you recommend a paid platform that has this option? 

New builds have been a fantastic option recently because they HAVE to sell their inventory no matter the market conditions. 

The payments typically are 1-3 years (but there's no real standard) and don't have additional interest added.Asking price: $280 Million (different currency than USD)Last year's asking price $250 Million (we assume the price increase is because of inflation)The owner doesn't seem in a hurry to sell and when we asked if he'd negotiate last year at $250 million he said no.I'd like to offer the following 3 options to see if any of these work for him:Option 1: 250 Million upfront Option 2:140 Million upfront130 Million in 6 months.

Before buying, do an analysis of the market that lets you in on its dynamics, link the type of property that matches your set goals and is in line with the risk you can take, survey the possible financial options open for borrowing money, and finally analyze the cash flow of this business before engaging professionals in managing this apartment complex.Conduct thorough checks on possible properties, covering in-person checks, money checks, checking leases, comparing market prices, checking rents, assessing the condition of the property, and looking over legal contracts.

We suddenly had 2 homes and began exploring what our options were and that is when we discovered the intriguing world of REI and tapped into Bigger Pockets and Better Life Tribe, etc. to begin our education.In the time since his death and the probate process we have been paying his mortgage off and selling items from the home which we have been maintaining.

An even better option is WPC - WP Carey, which is a diversified REIt, they have been aggressively divesting all their office properties and will soon be a principally Retail REIT, but they are still priced low with other Office ones. 

I am by no mean an expert on how to proceed, these are just a few options I would consider.
