Just tell them you want to match it up with what the old owner provided.

.- Prescreen anyone who wants to look at the property to make sure they have high enough income and their move-in date matches.

Pick a market that matches those goals and resouces 3.

Maybe even consider making a few simple upgrades to your property to match those "bells and whistles"  Gather some more data.  

Once that happens all will match appropriately.

If your employer offers company match in 401k be sure to contribute up to the match, that is free money and it would be foolish to give that up.

If it is a right of first refusal you simply need to notify him and give him whatever timeline is in the addendum to Match your best offer. 

I am trying to build connections and put myself in investor circles tell I match with someone with the same plans and goals . 

If you are REALLLLY good at marketing you could get away with it, but it wouldn't be as simple as what others may make it seem to be.Let me tell you a secret about marketing which seemingle all mortals seem to miss.Marketing is NOT about sending "a" message to the masses thinking those that need the services you offer will reach out to you..Ohhh bless their little hearts.Marketing is developing a laser focused message that SPECIFICALLY speaks to an audience, completely resonating, ideally evoking an emotion that is deeply felt, that not only makes people see that your services match, but also that you are THE authority in the field AND that you are credible.Marketing is WAY more involved than sending a message and having a budget.

@Samuel Hall Maybe he looked you up and nothing matched up.
