I have been investing in Iowa City for four years now and am an avid listener of BiggerPockets.

Am I a high risk person to lend to or something?

Put my commission in the contractCouldn't I , as an unlicensed person, just request the seller to lower the purchase price by 3% (or whatever)?

Not enough evidence to win the case my man. A

., so there's a bit of pressure to get this contract approved by the seller and all parties involved so I can see what the moneyguys say.Here's my question: How far should/do I as a first-time investor -- who wants this relationship to be a long-term, fruitful, mutually-beneficial relationship -- push to change the "standard contract" so that it only includes the wording that makes sense for an assignment? 

In Iowa or Utah, I would have no concern filing eviction.

there would need to be a clause that if the management of the property was no longer managed by you or if it did not perform to certain criteria that you would not receive any compensation or a reduced compensation until I as an investor at least made a decent return on my investment. 

Finally, if I (as a flipper) make an offer on a sfr/multi that's not currently listed and my offer is rejected, would it be a conflict of interest to pass the deal along to the brokerage that I also own a stake in?

Do I      a) just take out a loan (at a higher interest rate)  I can put 25% + down no problem     b) Use a HELOC from my home to purchase it.
