I would figure out exactly who the decision makers are first, and then from there I would explain they can either lose the property entirely, or sell it to you and make $XX,XXX. for most reasonable people making something vs nothing make sense, but obviously relationships and emotions can determine how that goes.Good Luck

For private money…purchase price x .XX% (lending percentage) / 12 months = monthly payment.

Here’s the short story, I signedan AOS with sellers to buy 4 lots xxx1 and xxx2 leithgow and aaa1 and aaa2 n 4th st 19123 (I replaced real address with xxx and aaaI later decided that I want to build out all 4.In his AOS he had a contingency yThe contingency was lot relocation of aaa1 and aaa 2 n 4th st (the lots in his aos).  

@Michael J Scanlon  I'm assuming that net listings are illegal in Illinois as in almost all other states, so the main question I have for you is this:What is the functional difference between a net listing (seller says "sell it for $XXX,XXX and you keep anything above that for commission") and wholesaling (I tell you that I'm going to buy it - but I'm really not going to. 

The other thing that is nice about that (not that I've ever done it) is, if the tenant and LL/PM enter an agreement that the tenant will pay $XXX by Friday (or ABC date)...but the tenant still doesn't do it...no need to start over! 

I would say "my typical policy for a shorter term lease is an additional charge of $xxx per month.

So if a contractor says 'xxx is out of stock, so we are going to use yyy'  your assistant does not say 'ok'. but 'I will call Ryan and see if he approves that change'  Then you call the contractor with a yes or no.Some contractors will look for the weakest link and exploit it.

You can sucker people in by telling them that they are going to make $XX,XXX.

. $ XXX for every property that he helps you move forward on.

He said "you are making XXX" on this and that is too much profit.
