What is worked well for me in the past is explaining to the seller the Costs to Sell with an agent versus renting versus subject to versus lease-option
those four options generally get their eyes open to what's possible. Then I do a Ben Franklin, draw a line down the middle, on the left put subject to where I'll pay PITI and maintenance for 2 to 5 years if they keep the loan in their name or we can turn the property into a rent to own, and They will get a check for rent but they'll have to pay maintenance and taxes for 2 to 5 yrs.
