I think you could be a good match for their living arrangement.

I just did a bathroom floor with the tenant in the house (she made arrangements to stay with a friend over the weekend), but it had to be done as the tub had sprung a leak and the vinyl stick-down tiles had become ruined.

I've seen these types of business arrangements executed before whereby lawyers, therapists, barbers, CPA's, etc establish their businesses in "historical" districts (for lack of a better descriptive) and in some cases live in the same building or in the mother-in-law building out back.

You need to be able to solve their problem and find a mutually beneficial arrangement. 

He was even able to work his magic to arrange and escrow account for exterior painting on a standard FHA loan, which I was told by local banks wasn't possible.

The most sobering aspect of executory contract regulation is that there are no seller defenses, even if the arrangement was the tenant/buyer’s idea to begin with. 

If you do the management yourself, you can always pay yourself, but it gives you the buffer you need, in case you need to make other arrangements.

Perhaps a trustee arrangement is possible.

Have you ever had such an arrangement with your salesperson?

@Joe Fairless I had a partner on that deal who took care of the list, I took care of the logistics of creating the radio scripts and arranging the venues for the presentations as well as the AV team.
