Is the place still a wreck? Does it need any repairs? If so, how much will they cost? Purchase price is $34,900, what is the property really worth? Have you checked comps on other properties in the neighborhood?
What are your plans if you buy the property? Live in it yourself? Hold as a rental? Lease option it? Resell it at a higher price? Seller finance it to someone else?
What does a property in the same condition rent for in that area?

The key would be to sell them on yourself. The next idea would be to give them additional collateral for a limited time until they say you were fixing up the place. Be honest a let them know you intend on making money by charging more after fixup. Although it isn’t zero down you could trade them an asset that you bought at a discount, like a 2nd mortgage you took back.
