I also give him a bonus if he comes in under budget. 

You can also pay them per sign and then give them like a 10% bonus of what you make from a deal each time a buyer you got from a sign call buys a house.

. $10 for my time, money,and effort in this deal so this was totally unexpected and to be fair I think I should get my $10 and then we should split the bonus $90 equally, does that sound fair to you? 

I worked two days and had two rooms looking,  well, the home sold and I received a bonus...I am working on my own flips to gain capital for rentals. 

BONUS 3rd thing!

Although I would clarify that by saying you can only take out half of your VESTED balance, meaning if your husband is not fully vested (usually a 5 year employment period) and your husbands company has made contributions (matching/bonuses) then you will only be able to take 50% of your VESTED balance out up to $50,000.  

It's now an 8.5 Cap on my total purchase price and the value has increased from $10.6M to just under $15M. 1) If you are confident that you are in the path of future infill development and can see a 3% spread over your 1st mortgage rate, then it sounds like a no brainer. 2) If you are confident that you can fill the suites at market rents then vacant suites are actually a bonus, IMHO.

Something to keep the contractor motivated would be a bonus of x% upon completion by a certain date.

Proof of funds will separate you from most wannabe investors.If you really want to get them motivated - offer a bonus on the purchase in exchange for a discount on the listing.

The new density bonuses will not be free for the developers, but must be purchased by "cashing in" these credits; one credit for every "one more" dwelling unit up to the new limit.
