Each is very extensive and around 15+ pages in length.My purpose for requiring the forms is three-fold.First, if there is resistance, it is a major red flag and I immediately move on.

@Jingmin ZhangThere are many clues as to whether a relationship with a new contractor will head south.Not necessarily the first one; but avoidance of, resistance to, tiptoeing around the subject of pulling permits or steering you to pull the permit yourself for work  the contractor is supposed to do is a clue that you may be dealing with the wrong contractor.If a contractor cannot simply go down to the building department without any urging from you and get a permit that they clearly post in public view on the job-site, things may be starting off on the wrong foot.There may be exceptions to this but I will not get into that now.

I'll identify that one because I'd actually like to get it and it will take time for them to realize the market resistance at current price.I had not heard of the Opportunity Zone Fund and just looked it up - it's an interesting avenue.

(I’ve met a few who’ve resisted it in the past) Any recommendations would be great.

I think just being flexible gives you a huge leg up and the large companies that are very resistant to any "standard contract" modifications. 

I explained that this was a normal part of the screening process but he was resistant.

Then, if they resist, haggles, he can pull back and say, I'm not buying at this point.5.

When I get resistance I always phrase their question in reserve. 

Of course the cops are going to take the path of least resistance and say "it's a civil matter".

If this is in a low income neighborhood than don't do this but in the suburbs most neighbors will choose the path of least resistance and just not let their dog poop on your property anymore.
