The agent and you will be sent the contract via Docusign if you are the winning bidder. 

@Fitzgerald Hall, sounds like a win win to me.

I obviously want to make it a win win for both parties but I would like to make some money off of it so I could further my investments.

Remember if they are motivated to sell they will work with you as long as its a win win for everyone.

. - I only have $10k to spend to acquire the property - Looking at seller financing and with ~6% in realtor fees my 10k would only just cover her realtor fees and wouldn't leave her much of cash-in-hand- I want this to be a win/win for both of us.

@Marc SinnottSince you are a broker, I would give them a seller net sheet (or whatever your office calls them) to show how much they can pocket if they list their house with you and I would also present them a cash offer for you to buy directly.If you explain the pros and cons of each, maybe you can find a win-win where you help them reach their goals and you're able to either earn a commission or buy/wholesale a house.In my experience with our Southern California market (Ventura County) over the past few years, homeowners may seem "motivated" until they see the price.

I'm looking forward to building relationships with like minded people and creating win, win opportunities for everyone involved .

The goal is to mitigate this by doing business with the right people and by creating win-win's. 

The other applicants will understand that not every one of them can "win."

You can't win in saving money - they need actual receipts for the whole project to adjust the claim.Good luck!
