I did this once on a foreclosed house that the bank owned and were asking almost a million dollars for. It was zoned commercial and I wanted it for an antique shop. It was 4500 sq/ft house with a 4100 sq/ft carriage house. I offered to buy way less and they said no way, then offered t lease until they sold. I ended up buying for $215k about a year later. Then sold it for $500k about 8 years later.
