Long-time Virginia landlord and property manager here. 

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

This property is primed for short term rental (night to night) with conservative estimates of ($40,000-$50,000) per month.

As long as they convert the cryptocurrency to dollars first.And pay, in USD, via one of the approved rent payment methods in their lease.

I always thought I would do more of it, but I have only ever been involved in one deal with Subject 2 financing since debt has been so cheap for so long. 

Ensure it has enough appeal to be a successful STR (short-term rental) too.

I am sure she is sending him letters (or using other methods to contact him) as well.I'm a small long-term buy-and-hold investor myself, but this property is about 4 hours away from my own market, and would be used personally by my wife and I if we were to acquire it.I'd really like some help from you large operators who work these deals all the time, as to how best make contact with the owner and see if he were interested in selling.  

No first hand knowledge just my impressionsSo I suspect he is going to go down the guru path and start to charge if he is not already for training and given his performance I saw I also suspect he will be successful at it given his personality and ability to stand up and talk the talk in front of large groups not every one can do that.. 

I can take as long as I need to to fix the issue, especially if it breaks after being fixed.

You should know the rules inside out or be working with the professionals that know it.Incorrect moves can result in not only a taxable event to you but to your investors.Based on your most recent response, i do not think you have a good understanding of1) requirements of the QOF(You may need to substantially improve a property)2) How long you need to hold a property before it can be sold to exclude the gain3) Inside basis vs outside basisBest of luck
