Of course you don't need to do this for wholesale budgets, but it is important to understand all the costs (hard & soft costs) associated with the project.  

I've spent a lot of time and money on these soft cost/ reports and do not want to just give them away?  

I talked to the realtor today and she said there's definitely softness in the floor in some areas. 

A little more than soft money but alot less than hard money. 

By having you pull the credit, it is a soft pull so it doesn't ding your credit as a hard inquiry and most often you can get it for free.  

@Cameron Norfleet just bandit signs and soft marketing right now.

For WalMart it is groceries, soft goods and household goods.

There is always another offer right around the corner.If your market is normal to soft, you have to gauge how long it would take to get another potential buyer that doesn't ask for so much.

The Springfield Cardinals, Bass Pro, the SGF airport, and so on.

We agreed to get the loan together, but he funded the entire purchase and soft costs. 3.
