Un heard of on the east coast.. 

These companies locate where Real Estate is cheap & politicians will give them unheard of incentives thinking it will clean areas up.

If it is an "older" home is was not unheard of to find a sink simply vented into the wall cavity.

That is unheard of.....If you look at SF marketing, above $1.1m, LOTS of listings NOT moving at all....So I am saying in any "hot" markets, the entry level listings, which means diff $$ in diff markets , are still moving quick possibly with multiple offers....

@Carl Crump OK so its not unheard of to get 80%

That's unheard of in my area. 

(inspector said this is almost unheard of - so sounds like a responsible owner!)

It’s my understanding that this isn’t unheard of but looking for some direction on if it’s out of the question to get involved with?

@Melina GorositoAs others have mentioned, it depends on the type of property and financing with which you are dealing.In Canada, origination fees are unheard of for residential properties  - unless you are dealing with an off-market lender (which means you cannot borrow from a bank, credit union or other tier 1 or 2 lender).When you move into commercial properties, there are a variety of fees, an origination fee is a possibility, but still not common.If you are using an independent broker who's not being compensated by the lender (which they should disclose), they will charge you a fee for their services (in my experience these fees are negotiable).In our experience, even when paying the lender levied fees associated with commercial financing (lenders admin, legal, etc), the fees are deducted from the funds advanced.  

This was unheard of 10 years ago - and I may catch a lot of heat for saying this here: among many other downtown projects, things like the new Hop streetcar contribute to the cool urban feel that attracts Millennials.
