The deal with Mattress Warehouse addresses antitrust concerns raised by the FTC, which has challenged the merger, fearing it would stifle competition and raise prices.Tempur Sealy expects the acquisition, combined with the divestiture, to solidify its market dominance, with over 2,800 retail locations worldwide.

We're not likely to see major appreciation in the coming years, but I do think buyer sentiment will improve which will likely lead to better pricing via competitive offers vs. the current market. 

Understanding Price "Improvements"In the world of real estate, pricing is a critical factor that influences both the attractiveness and the competitiveness of a property.

AirDNA is good for looking back over last 12 months and enemy method is good at looking at competitions occupancy and rates in near future.

Also you have to constantly look for customers and you competing with highly competitive hard money lenders.Lendng under $50k is great idea because most HML don't do loans less then 100k.So I found that traditional real estate is much more passive and easier but I still be interested in private lending on a deal to deal basis I such deal falls into my inbox and it passes all check and balances. 

@Courtney HamiltonI have found that my rental listings are no longer Auto pushed to Zillow even though Zillow generates by far the most traffic for a rental listing almost 70% of the leads are from ZillowWhen you do your market analysis I would highly recommend pricing your property $50 below your competition because best products and best price equals the best tenant.

So my personal take: If you feel like having a non-contingent offer will allow you to be more competitive and save $10k+ on the new home because of a bidding war/multi-offer situation, then it may make sense. 

If you don't respond, they're off to the next opportunity.1-2 days may be too long, especially in a competitive market.

In your case, the competition from cash-heavy buyers is driving prices beyond what makes sense for a commercial loan based on current NOI and DCR requirements.As for your dilemma, I’d recommend sticking to your numbers.
