You may not be able to get a way with this broad, but I'd encourage you to not paint yourself into a box by trying to outline every criteria.

My enthusiasm has made me overlook the very simple approach you outline. 

What I've outlined is general rules.  

I'm actually sitting here thinking about how I can implement some of the things you just outlined.  

Proof: Using the approach I outlined in option #2 we had a client tell us she would take 11k less than what our max offer would have been.

Walk before you run.Layout expectations and shower the developer with admiration of their business and projects and outline your goals.

Hard money lenders will often have websites that will outline the basic parameters under which they will lend: rate, term (length of loan), loan to value (LTV) ratio, amount, etc.

Plus if you do SLO's, that's how you get bigger wealth I have a cooperative lease option agreement that outlines exactly what I plan to do which does tell the seller I will be assigning be the contract to another buyer.

So if your agent friend signed a 30 page independent contractor agreement that outlines what they can and can't do.
