Sometimes it's hard to get a contingency from a seller in a sellers market. 

So I feel it's definitely a limiting factor to a sale.I feel like I'd be narrowing down my possibilities of a successful transaction telling the seller I'll cover it and expect a unrepresented buyer working on their credit to bring a huge EMD, Purchase Option, and/or pay elevated rent. 

(Seller’s market here.)

Only reason I could come up with is seller concerns about financing falling out.

Marketing to off market sellers is where you find them.

You have motivated sellers that you can provide value to by buying their propertyGino

The seller wants to carry financing now, so very little cash will be required.  

I have a seller who is very motivated to sell.  

Be careful when a seller is just providing "estimated" expense.
