We do have contracts on the different properties, so it may just be a question of how each contract was negotiated. 

According to the township if I bring them my time line, cost, and scope of work to remedy the work they may be able to negotiate down the fines, but there's no guarantee of this.

The attorney usually facilitates the closing between the buyer and seller, but does not necessarily negotiate the terms of the contract.

After a couple of weeks of negotiation and getting her to accept the poor condition of the home we settled on a price of $39500 cash to her.

My payments will be equal to the seller's PI payment under both scenarios.I would negotiate the $5000 moving money down as much as possible.

DerekI would take @Shawn Holsappleout to lunch and pay him for some One on One mentoring coaching re: marketing, negotiation, contracts, real estate attorney, etc.You should be able to buy on lease option, subject to, land contract, and market for private lendersGood luck, it's hard to beat Shawn 

Terms would be negotiated by owner and renter.

If you are going to offer less than the owed amount you will need to negotiate with the owners and the bank.

It eventually comes out they negotiated a deal for reduced fees blah, blah, blah.Some places do not need PM as much but they tend to be in affluent residential areas with very little cash flow but stronger tenants.As a PM company you will have to GRADE the type of area and tenant your client wants you to manage.
