Thank you!
read the to be purchased contract from vendor
cost to break lease
cost to remove panels
cost to reshingle house

add 30% to the total of the above costs

deduct from asking price.

bid on the house, and tell the seller that the price is good until you find a better value as you will keep looking, and keep on looking!

you are being the seller's "exit liquidity of last resort", and you may get the house on your terms. . .
