Anything I can offer to help someone going through a divorce?
Last week I got notice of a 12-unit portfolio in KCMO up for sale, and the deal looks really great. The seller stated he MIGHT be willing to entertain the idea of seller-financing (he owns all the units outright), but needs to think about it for a bit. I asked him why he was selling all of the properties, and he said he is in the middle of a divorce and needs to unload.
Anyways, it's been a week and he hasn't replied back to me yet. I'm thinking that I might lose this deal, and I was wondering if there is anything I can offer him (outside of paying for his attorney fees) that would help him in the divorce process? Is there anything non-monetary that he may need that I can help him with? It's clearly the #1 priority on his mind, and if there is any way I can help him with that, I'm sure he would pick me to sell to over others.
I'm just trying to get creative in order to find a way to acquire this portfolio by helping with a big problem that he has ... any tips, advice, or experience is appreciated. :)
