If they are not a good bargain, you might consider an out of state affordable option. 

So earlier this week I had a deal fall through because I was not quick enough to come up with a contract offer but I still decided to consider an evaluation for the unit.Background- I was walking my neighborhood to try and burn some calories from my taco dinner when suddenly, a For Sale By Owner sign appeared.

Consider an offer like a piece of mail you receive offering you an amazing price on a new car this weekend only.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is likely to be higher, then you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

If you do buy stainless appliances, I'd strongly consider an extended warranty, especially on the fridge.

@Joe Villeneuve , when would you consider an all-cash deal a "good" deal.  

As Roy N. said, you might want to consider an owner-occupied property (perhaps a Fannie Mae) that you would live-in until your graduate.

Rob, I'm just getting started in commercial properties and not ready yet to consider an industrial property.

I don't think it's out of this world to consider an agreement with the tenant to switch to month to month if I feel there is writing on the wall.

Unless you are willing to offer more than the cash offers then the seller might consider an offer with a financing contingency
