Why is it that it is unusual for people to get my results?

As an accountant I see issues when you have unusual transactions that aren't part of the day to day operations.While I was not part of the decision making team, I was told we narrowed it down to Yardi and Rent Manager because they both incorporate all the different areas, but we chose Rent Manager because of price.

I too have multiple offers in most of the time, 4-6 is not unusual, sometimes up to 10 if i am hungry.

The property had an unusually large entryway that didn't have much use, and small bedrooms that probably turned off other buyers (again, I only learned this by visiting the property).  

But your OP was about the numbers, and your experience is not unusual by any means, and is in fact quite common.

The two areas you mentioned are very unusual for San Antonio.

., are created: done in an unusual and often dishonest way^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Same Source:tradition noun tradition \trə-ˈdi-shən\ : a way of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular group, family, society, etc., for a long time: the stories, beliefs, etc., that have been part of the culture of a group of people for a long time—used to say that someone has qualities which are like the qualities of another well-known person or group of people from the past^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^With that in mind, I'd like to hear why folks seem to think that seller financing or an installment contract, like a contract for deed, or a wrap mortgage or a Subject-To transaction or a Lease and Option To Buy comes close to being "creative" financing.

For larger or commercial property it isn't unusual to have a due diligence clause written in which allows you time to collect that information after the contract is written.

And it sounds like you've been unusually lucky potentially running into the same aggressive investor a few times.

More importantly, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it's about finding the deal.Here's how I financed one of my first and most creative deals: Back in 1998, the market was barely recovering from the last trough, and even though the market in Ventura county, CA is desirable, back then it wasn't unusual to see a property sitting on the market for a year or more.
