I’m not entirely sure my sellers agent actually presented the offer from the wording in his response to me.

I work with newer investors who want quick, clear deal guidance so they can move with more confidence.I offer short calls where I walk through numbers, point out risks, and give a simple breakdown of what the deal actually looks like.

It's a question of what kind of headaches are you inviting into your world. 

Quote from @Noa Lukela: With competition heating back up, what unconventional offer terms or deal structures have given you an edge this year? 

Your offer strategy is fine, but you don’t need the offer drafted beforehand.Walk the open house, confirm the major systems, then submit the offer the same day with a tight inspection contingency.Speed matters, but drafting an offer early doesn’t give you an edge in CA.

If passed -- invited to complete a Rental Application + pay $49 for a complete Background check (credit, criminal and rent history)4. if approved -- invited to schedule a showing of the Unit5.

George, congrats on getting the offer accepted — and honestly, don’t panic about inheriting a Section 8 tenant.

It's good to be prepared, but you still need to submit an offer and get in contract.

When I had dinner with Leigh Robinson, it was at a real estate conference and I invited him to dinner at the hotel, one on one just to ask him a bunch of questions. 

My point is not to look at it from an investment perspective, but most Americans wealth is tied to their real estate, and if you offer a solution or a product that prolongs that wealth building, you essentially keep people poorer longer.
