It is a win-win situation for both project sponsor and the EB5 investors.

Here are a few that I think are innovative, and obviously depend on preference and market:- Web based rent collection is a good easy win.- Pet fees (@Brie Schmidt and others differentiate through renting to dog owners).

Here is what is recommended: The author is a real estate agent and makes a deal with the listing agent and offers to:- Take care of letting client into the house for inspections - Get utilities turned on for inspections- Complete all paper work- Work with the title company on the title search- Work with the closing attorney on scheduling the closing- No need for you to show up to the closing- I'll return your lockbox, sign and commission check to you at your office immediately after closing- I'll also give you my half of the commission as a bonus, so you make twice as much on this deal.The only thing you need to do is get the bank to accept my offer.I am concerned because with this much incentive, is the listing agent really representing the bank?

I would not bother with lawyers, they are the only ones to win in  a legal case.  

I almost mentioned that might be the case but let the negative win.  

Added bonus: it's about just as fast (or slow, depending on how you look at it) as driving in to work. 

Win/Win/Win right.

***SPECIAL INCENTIVES: 1) Buyer will receive a purchase credit of either $1,000 or 3% of the final price at time of successful closing (whichever is less). 2) Buyer will receive a $600 home improvement gift card approximately 4-6 weeks after the successful close of the purchase transaction. 3) Buyer's Agent will receive an additional 1% commission based on the winning bid amount at time of successful closing (minimum of $400 additional commission).My question is 1.) is the bank making these incentives for the buyer or 2.) is this a wholesaled house?

More knowledge and inspired action based on the knowledge here on BP is a winning combination.

She is starting the HAMP process and she is planning on giving me a lease option when it is complete, I will then sublease the house creating a win, win situation.My question to the BP community,Is the HAMP the best option or would conducting a short sale be better?
