A bonus for being early and/or a percentage of money saved on the project.You really want to give them skin in the game so that they will respond more or less as you would do when on the site.

Enough lime on your skin and it will burn badly.

I imagine if you started looking over the home you'd have to repair the roof, and even though I could not see any damage, there may be some issues with mold or otherwise owing to the existence of moisture from the operation.

:woohoo: :clap: The bird dog does sound like a partner as they have skin in the game.

They may not go for a 80/20 situation because then you have no skin in the game.

Thanks again, Ill advise as we progressMattMatt,To elaborate a bit.You want the maximum cash in your pocket so you can move on to other deals and lower your exposure to this deal.That could mean proceeds from a loan or a down payment.The down payment is all about the buyer having skin in the game.

But there is more than one way to skin a cat, I have found a way to get around all of the red tape.

The most pressing include a leaking main water pipe in the crawlspace, several dead outlets, non-grounded outlets and non covered outlets, a loose shower liner/insert that has caused mold and moisture damage on the bathroom sheetrock (there is no vent/fan in there), and the carport and porch roof are leaking.

IMO this would be the way for you to go for quick cash with little skin in the game.

Sellers want to see some skin in the game.
