I'm personally inclined to opt for a traditional lease with standard terms in place.

That is not to say you can't obtain the team prior, but keep in mind they might be not as inclined to work with you.

I’ve been successful on the MLS in Chambersburg, waynesboro, Harrisburg, and York so far…please let me know how it goes and if you’re inclined to make an introduction, I may be able to take a few more of your sellers properties off his hands;)

In an interesting turn of events he reached out to me today to inform me that his other buyer backed out and he'd like to move forward with me again...It's a good deal so I'm inclined to purchase it but I almost don't want to just so he won't make his assignment fee!

If at the end of the lease they have a few late fees but the property was paid up, notice was given, and it's returned in good shape, I might be inclined to let them off.  

Your approach puts the person on defense and may not feel the need to call you and may even get them upset.I would lean to being more compassionate and empathetic to the person's situation and then offer a solution to their issue.Once you make them feel like you are there to help them then they may be inclined to call you.

The bank is a great option, if its been sitting on the market a while they may be potentially more inclined to work with you more flexibly...

Here you leverage experts that already know what markets to be in, where the best deals are, structure the best deals and have an experienced team....ride it to profits if you don't have time or the inclination to learn at a deep level.   

I would say that septic systems are fairly expensive to put in and that yes, in East Cobb I would be inclined to pay much less for a lot requiring septic, mainly because most areas of East Cobb are on sewer.

I'm inclined to first check out properties closer to downtown but also not opposed to living a little further out if the economics make more sense.
