Offering a refundable fee would have to come out of your pocket.

-> Besides doing your market research, i strongly advise that before any purchase or offer, that you hire professionals to help you in the process.

Here is a list of lenders offering such financing: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

The seller is representing themselves so showings must be arranged with them, and offers made to them directly.

Shiloh, the poster above, seems to find investors and I don’t think he has to offer a discount (most people trying to partner on a property are probably finding properties that are selling for close to retail and then they seek partners with whom to purchase the property and therefore don’t even have a chance at offering a discount since they don’t already own the property as I do).

So he bought up several owner financed properties that offered 0% down, and he cash flowed. 

If you ask them to write an offer, don't disappear for weeks at a time after you make the offer. 

I think the safest approach would be offering the package at a certain price and excluding the alcohol.

We have an offer for someone to purchase our property via Subject To.
