This is why we spring for American Standard/Trane/Bryant/Carrier in even our cheapest long-term buy-and-hold properties.

We let them talk about how hard it was for them, let them express their pain points.

Last night we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with a small group of fellow Americans in the area.

I can't express my gratitude enough for the incredible value that Biggerpockets has provided to me and so many others. 

I use American Modern Insurance Group, it’s easy to set up a policy with them over the phone that provides coverage on an empty building.

Express sympathy/empathy for their situation so you stay being the good guy.

I’ve expressed interest to both of my parents as well as my other siblings as a buyer of the place and it was actually very well received.

They have expressed an interest in selling the rest within the next couple of years anyway, I’m just trying to find a way to secure them now.If they accepted, it would seem like a win because I was able to get into them for no cash.

@Douglas Gratz - "Its money in the bank" is just an Expression for the property appreciating over time. 

Don't live beyond your means like the 78 percent of Americans that live paycheck to paycheck.
