Seeking advice on presenting an offer in an off-market deal

[Molly Wenske]

I am putting together an offer to purchase a family friend's investment property. This would be an off-market deal, and I'm aiming for seller financing. How would you present an offer in this situation? Is there a template for how I should spell things out? A list of terms I should be sure to address?

I will bring in a lawyer when the time comes to draw up a contract, but I'd love some advice on how to very first present my offer to them!
