The hot setup is where you provide an aluminum tube and the lessee provides
fuel, scheduled maintenance, and insurance. That way if the aircraft isn't
used much, all you are out is the cost of the airplane which you should be
able to recover if you bought it right.

if there is so much expected business than he won't need you for a
leaseback. What's the cost of a usable C150/152?
http://www.aso.com/ lists them from USD 16,500 to USD 65,500. I'd say for
30 AMU you'll get a usable plane. Why does he want a leaseback?

He just purchased the entire fuel operation for the airport, plus two or
three C-172s and a $250K flight simulator. There was a C-152 on leaseback
but the owner sold it for a larger airplane, so there's an empty tiedown
marked "RESERVED FOR FLIGHT SCHOOL" where the second C-152 used to be.
