Use this simple offer structure:
1. Price
State the purchase price clearly.
2. Down Payment
30% is standard unless seller financing is offered.
3. Financing Terms
- Bank loan
- SBA
- Seller financing (if available)
- Cash purchase
- Hybrid
4. Contingencies
These are normal and expected:
✔ Financing approval
✔ Appraisal
✔ Satisfactory due diligence
✔ Environmental review
✔ Title review
But avoid:
- 20+ contingency items
- “I want to approve everything” language
- Open-ended timelines
5. Due Diligence Timeline
Standard:
- 45–60 days for DD
- 30 days to close after DD
If you offer less, you look stronger.
6. Earnest Money (Deposit)
Typical:
- $10,000–$50,000 depending on park size
- Goes hard after DD
- Held in escrow
This signals seriousness.
7. Closing Date
Specific date or “within 30 days of DD completion.”
Sellers want certainty.
