If you work directly with the listing agent and they keep both sides of the commission and you dont get any exclusive representation as a buyer.. the listing agent would most certainly be happy to work with you and a lower due diligence. 

There’s a phone number listed on that website 1-916-274-3350 so you can ask more questions. 

I've included a list below. 

As a side thing I am trying to create a spreadsheet to look into properties that could work for the communal or buying abroad together option. so I was looking for a list of things I would need to consider when buying a property/land in this manner.

This arrangement isn't something every bank offers, so it's important to shop around and foster relationships.

A bit lacking in restaurants, shopping, night life, etc, but it's very close to Destin, where all that can be found within a short drive.

Or a list of other local REI organizations?

I know this is probably a long shot, and not as advantageous for the seller as $325K cash up front, but I should have mentioned the seller had it listed for $325K for 4 months, no offers, dropped it to $315K, got a couple of calls, but no offers, then has had it off the market for 3 months and wants to relist it in March if I don't buy it.Since this seems VERY overv-priced based on recent sales, I'm trying to figure out an option that might work for the seller, but we might just be too far off.Any suggestions on how that could be done?

Hi Noah, could you tell me if you use digital guidebooks for the listings you host?  

There is also a "Build your team" drop down above that lists Tax pros associated with BiggerPockets.
