You have come to a pretty powerful place my friend.Welcome to BP!

Tim, I guess if you can get buyers to (over) pay your fee, more power to you.

Great topic.In my experience I have seen some very inexperienced investors stumble through a deal (to their credit) in spite of their negotiating skills.Their biggest weapon was coming at the discussions from the place of how they could solve the sellers problem(s).Of course... those that developed more advanced negotiating skills not only increase their profits, they also got more deals to the closing table.One of my all time favorite negotiating books, one that I require all of my clients to read, is The Secrets of Power Negotiating by Roger Dawson.

This would seem so much easier than getting the Sellers to sign over a Power of Attorney, the method I have seen most people use.The above example does not have the transaction funding fees, but feel it increases your liability.Would my assumption be correct?

I mean, I look for homes for investors on the MLS with bargaining power--as in, lengthy days on market with no action.
