The methods I've used in the past are no longer working well.

I have read some from R.

Has anyone used the method used in the Creating Wealth by Robert G.

After I remove the appraisal and home inspection contingencies (assuming the house appraised for the value I'm paying and the home inspection didn't reveal any surprises), I have the title company order the title report (I would have already pulled a title profile on the property as part of my due diligence).In CA we use a standard California Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions provided by the California Association of REALTORS(R), Inc. 

Like @Christina R. 

Shawn Holsapple view is definitely discussed in the book Landlording On Autopilot, and I know many people follow that method.  

But I think that if you can calmly and coolly and methodically prove that the value is only $X, while he may reject your offer initially, so long as you maintain a decent relationship he will come back to you after it sits on the market for 6 or 12 months.Unfortunately, that is a waiting game you may not be willing to play and you will be dealing with somebody who is far more emotional than logical about the whole situation.

I tend to think that you should allow tenants to pay via a relatively industry-agnostic method.
