We offered $75k under asking and they accepted. 

Quote from @Keaton Sheffert: Hello BiggerPockets Users,I am looking for advice on how to best convince my local zoning commission to accept our proposal for a rezoning from residential to commercial (for apartments).Background: My business partner and I are hoping to begin our first development in 2025 in our small town in Southern MI.

We are able to demonstrate seemingly everything that the credit card company is asking for - the reservation details, the fact that the guest accepted our terms and conditions, and timestamps for all, including IP address.However, the credit card companies are taking it one step further now. 

Present it confidently; if they accept, great.

For this, I'd recommend being prepared with the terms you're willing to accept in such a situation and staying firm.

They will be one lease to a room.That being said, the nonprofit will be filling the house based on their need; I will not be screening nor accepting/denying applicants.

Matt,I believe I initially misread your post, please accept my apologies!

Although this is a long term investment and not in the main stream, it has added a certain level of comfort knowing the above potential investment risks are to a degree reduced.

And they are not beholding to owner occ disclosures they can do whatever they want .. you either accept or dont close.He's taking a commercial rental loan made to his LLC.

Even if they could save 5-10% on that $800 bid, which is $40-$80, if it took more than 1-2 hours they'd be losing money doing it because their time is worth at least $40/hour.In our opinion, it really depends on the level of urgency and the size of the bid.The more urgency, like no hot water, the less time the PMC has to get multiple bids.The bigger the bid, the more likely it is an owner should expect multiple bids.An owner has to be realistic, understand and accept these limitations.
