If they’re doing it for dirt cheap and gave great service, I’m a lot more likely to give them a “bonus” than if they charged me full rate and took a long time to get to the worksite.I don’t think there’s a hard and fast rule on anything, but if you want them to treat you well, you need to treat them well (pay when asked, provide meals for him/her and their crew, be flexible when you can, pay extra, etc.).   

Investor loan programs are available on flexible terms. 

Hey @Glenn Larson  You’re right, seller financing really depends on the seller’s flexibility and the specifics of the deal, but I can give you a couple of typical structures to think about:Interest-only payments: In this setup, you pay the seller interest on the loan without paying down the principal right away, giving you time to stabilize the property or improve cash flow before paying it off or refinancing.Balloon payment: You might negotiate a lower monthly payment (possibly interest-only) with a balloon payment due after 5-10 years.

I can't imagine I would ever book direct if there wasn't at least some flexibility in a refund.  

This can provide flexible funds for a BRRRR strategy.4.

However, the lower payments give you flexibility in case a major life event stresses your finances and/or monthly cashflow. 

Hi Randy, After wholesaling for 20 years, managing 50 investor agents, and owning multiple rental properties myself, here’s my advice: Wholesaling is all about being the connector who brings value through speed and flexibility.

He is a friend and willing to be flexible for a creative solution as he just needs some of the cash for a down payment. 

It would also give you more control and flexibility in how you manage your properties while ensuring you can take full advantage of tax deductions available to businesses.

It’s worth exploring if you're looking for more flexibility!
