We both lost out to someone that was willing to give the Seller almost the price they were asking because they were doing a 1031 exchange were they had a substantial amount of cash and they liked the property location.This similar scenario has played out for me several times over the last few years because the market was so hot.

The Arbitrage unit that we operate is owned by a friend, so we probably played a little fast and lose with our agreement with her.

If it's the case that the lender origination/broker fee increased last minute I would not be thrilled.Regarding LTV, are there any seasoning restrictions in play?
