<prompt> Human: We found out that our landlord wants to sell this house, so he doesnt want to renew our lease that ends May 31. Its a decent house in a really good neighborhood, weve been here a year and our son starts kindergarten in the fall. I feel like the cost of moving would be better spent on a down payment and its worth it to never get tossed out again this is the second time this has happened to us. However, we dont have a down payment saved so were going to have to beg, borrow and steal well, not the last one. To be able to swing this. Our calculations indicate that mortgage and taxes should actually be less than rent, so were not worried about that. Can we use the Youve got a seller lined up before you have to list it. to talk the price down?  <response>: Just make sure you still go through steps like the inspection and confirming the title is valid. The current owner will probably be happy to not have to pay something like 6 3 to his agent, and 3 to yours of the houses value, which you can use to talk down the price...
