If you can’t develop approaches for the above, walk away from the deal.  

@Ryan Howard welcome...doing some more research on your desired path should shed some light on the environment you're working in...I would caution noting that you do not have capital, but want to wholesale to raise capital...you're essentially admitting you are trying to broker real estate without a license...you will hear lots of opinions on this, but the bottom line is if you have no intent to close on a contract you enter into, you're engaging in unlicensed activity and subject to $1,000/day fines.I'm not saying don't wholesale...I am saying do your homework so you don't end up in a tight situation.Taking time to explore every option in RE investing is not a good approach...I can save you years of heartache and you'll be wealthy much faster by sticking to fundamentals...long-term buy and hold real estate is the only path you need to go down. 

I think a better approach is working together.

I do have a question, I have some properties I would like to put under contract but I haven't made my first deal yet and I'm not sure how to approach a seller and what to say. 

How would others approach my situation? 

What are some terms that I can approach them with?

They are offer hand written products at scale for a more personal approach.

Remind them as move-out day approaches to be out on X day / X time or the following fees will be accessed.  

Those are some of the same reasons I got out of flipping houses and long(er) term buy and hold rentals and syndications.And you are definitely taking the right approach by working through the tax implications with your CPA. 

Cox, a local service provider, has approached us asking us to sign an 8 year contract in exchange for a $10,000 upfront payment in addition to $1,000 quarterly payments.Does anybody have any experience with them?
