Create motivation without offering an unreasonable amount of money...

.), but the labor is more intensive than you might think, so that $3500 bid is not unreasonable, unless it has $2k+ in materials....I also know I am not going to do the electrical in my REI due to the time/effort involved even though I could save $2.5K on that $3500 bid...it's not worth the week It'll take me, plus the "permitting lag" that happens if you aren't a local tradie, which sets back pretty much everything else, drywallers, flooring, cabinetry, paint...etc.  

They arent wasting mine as I believe in the idea that you cant lose what you dont have and that every unreasonable offer made by a seller to me gets me one step closer to the seller reasonably willing to discount their property. 

Making $15-20k if you're buying cash is not unreasonable, most people make that on a deal using hard money.Pull the cheapest houses in the areas you're looking at and start making offers.

While it should have been made earlier, this isn't an unreasonable request.

This may seem unreasonable, and I know it does not fit every investors' situation, but if I had to do everything over again, I would use some of my own money on every project.

Not unreasonable at all in my view.

I don't think it is unreasonable for you to adjust your offer based on the new damages.

Am I being unreasonable in wanting this type of verbiage removed?

Receiving an offer $100k less on a $500k property is unreasonable.
