Also I know that it is not that uncommon for people to give mobile homes away for free if you can have it moved; I seen one on Craigslist in Fort Walton in this same scenario just a couple weeks ago.      

I didn't know that those loans were uncommon or even called blanket loans. 

It is not uncommon to make $80k on $80k invested in the Austin new development market right now if you use construction financing.

Buyer paid SS negotiation fees are not uncommon.

That is not uncommon.  

Medical equipment as a collateral is not uncommon but the institutions who do much of that finance, like the SBA (Small Business Administration) has a matrix on how to value the underlying collateral.

It's not uncommon for people to get held up at gunpoint in Tremont, Ohio CIty and Gordon Square.

Not uncommon though.  

It is not uncommon for people to move into a hotel in between homes, I have done it before, stayed in a hotel for 2.5 months while the builder putzed around (this is when I was a kid).  

It's not uncommon for us to push back on requirements that turn out not to hold water but would have cost the client tens of thousands of dollars (right of way work is a big one).
