21 Day Owner Occupied period

[Robert Williams]

OK, all you experts I have an issue that I am trying to find my way around.  Found a house today that was just listed as a foreclosure and the price right, condition is great for a foreclosure, location is great. Everything is just what I have been searching for and I called my realtor today to make an offer for full asking price and I am told that with this "homepath" Listing that they don't take any offers from investors for the first 21 days.  

Has anyone had this issue before and is there a way around it?  I asked if I could make an offer that they could just hold until the time is up and I can't even do that.  Figured I could go $500 over ask so if an owner occupied offer comes in under ask they would just wait until my offer can be accepted.  

Thanks in Advance
