The end buyer's max offer is a screen the buyer runs, not a rule you have to follow — the target purchase-to-ARV percentage varies by buyer, market, and how much of a spread investors in your area are used to paying for a done-for-you deal. If the price to end buyer sits above their max offer, the contract may be hard to assign at the fee you want. Earnest money is typically applied to the deal or refunded at closing, but is shown as capital at risk since a fallen-through deal can cost it.
