On small deals in the $2m range it wouldn't be uncommon to charge an acquisition fee of 2 to 3%.

It's not an uncommon problem so you're not alone.

For example, if I recall correctly there were some rural, single family home markets (in the South for example), where it was uncommon for the landlord to supply appliances.

@Stephen Dominick its not uncommon at all.

It's not uncommon for landlords to write that it cannot be rented out in the lease, then charge more to the master tenant with a wink and a "I won't be inspecting the unit," to avoid any knowledge of the unit being leased illegally on the part of the landlord..

I'm sorry to hear you got saddled with a bad investment like that - it's not uncommon, but I doubt that makes you feel any better. 

This is very uncommon but it was very important for her to meet the person that would be taking over the building and handling the tenants.  9 units in the thing. 7 units are occupied.

@Vicki Chuthe meadows place is right in stafford, same zipcode... id say its a C class neighborhood section 8 tenants are not uncommon... but in all honestly ive found tenants to be fine.  

Buying property and taking over mortgage payments was not uncommon.

Its helpful if you have an uncommon name that you are searching, but common names are almost impossible.
