If you wanted to but a particular property for an investment and you dont know the vendor (but he lives set the property)how would you go about it. Would you have an agent contact him and see if he wanted to sell, would you just walk up to the door and ask him yourself or what. Obviously you wouldn't want to come across as too keen that they ask for more than what its worth but you dont really have many shots at asking them without seeming too keen, so I need a good offer that would have him interested from the beginning. If he's not interested in selling because he doesnt want to move thats fine he could rent iut from me
