@Chis AnenWe don't do a lot of this because most of our offers are cash, as is - so there's not a lot of other levers.That said, if you're asking for contingencies, you can do things like:offer A is with seller providing no remediation of tree impinging on propertyoffer B is with seller providing remediation of tree impinging on propertyThe thing I'd advice (we have more experience on the seller side of a transaction when things were asked for) is that if you do ask a seller to re-mediate something be very specific on what your expectations for quality are.

A lot of people that get into it have some kind of contingency (a second job, a wife or husband with a decent enough income to support both of you, pensions, live with parents etc) Those that don't have one of those contingencies becomes one of the statistics of people that don't survive more than a few years in the business. 

My intention is to practice this craft with integrity and honesty.Here are a few things that I am currently trying to establish:Title companies in the Des Moines/Polk County area that are investor friendly and can work with assignment contracts/double closingsNetworking with Realtors that are investor friendly.Looking for purchase and sales agreements specific to my market and the common contingency clausesLooking to connect with other successful wholesalers in my area. 

Keyword Alerts: out of state, long distance investing, repair estimations, contingency periods, rehab, and deal evaluation. 

Timing and dependencies  - If you ref out of the 3.375, do you have any guarantee/contingency that the new house you want to purchase will be there? 

You can make any contingencies on purchase that you want. 

The former can be found in the T-12 and the latter can be determined by speaking with your property management company)Other: ideally, your debt term is the same length or longer than your hold period, create an upfront operating account fund to cover the unexpected, add 15% contingency to your renovation budget.

The assignment of ownership interest is a contingency of investing in the deal.

You also need to ask them how long it will take for the lender to appraise the house and give you loan contingency clearance.

I offered $110,000 with a contingency of cleaning out all the stuff myself.
