However, it is perfectly acceptable to combine all tenants’ security deposits into a single account.

But if you're trying to get an exclusive deal, the reality is that you probably have less bargaining power because if they want $296.10/sq ft they know they can put it on the MLS and see if they get any bites.

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?

You could agree with the Seller that you will accept up to $10,000 in the special assessment and the seller covers the remainder.

Sellers had multiple "accepted" offers and all were placed in interpleader accounts. 

I saw how that proposal is basically her giving me a 0% loan, but at the same time I believe that structure will avoid her taking a large loss (approximately 30k if she accepts a 300k offer).I do not know why she doesnt get a PM, I only share the facts of when she purchased it, the purchase price, and the reasoning she shared with my realtor as to why she is selling after such a short time period.

They were perfectly acceptable 20 years ago, but now many areas are limited to one guest per calendar month. 

I love being on the other side charging everything possible on a credit card but there’s no reason to accept them.

The only time we will not make an offer site unseen is if we run into a situation where an owner or a realtor won't accept site unseen offers. 

Should know tomorrow if it is accepted.
