That's pretty much unheard of these days. 

That's almost unheard of in most investment strategies, unless you get extremely lucky.

Plus different lenders have different LTV - as low as 70% is not unheard of, I know of a portfolio lender who will go to 80%, and if somebody is getting conventional financing they could go to some higher LTV in some cases.

@Joe EllisMy observations:Rent to Value (2.18%): is rather high (although not unheard of).

So 300/rent is unheard of.

You will also find Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quads - something which is unheard of in Northern, VA area. 

For example, in Pittsburgh pa I get over 50% cash on cash return which would be unheard of in some of the higher priced markets.

@Abel Rodriguez, if $25k is common for the area (or at least not unheard of), just how rough is the neighborhood?

However, the numbers may not work out.It's interesting, and fortunate, that you're able to project out to 2020 where your wife will be stationed but not totally unheard of.

It is not unheard of, but I'd imagine it to be a bad business practice not to allow flexibility if it spoils the deal. 2% buyers commissions in my area are very rare. most are 2.5-3% sometimes subtracting a small transaction fee (something else that is odd to some and common to others).
