For example, the $400M Uncommons has broken ground - a $400M complex in southwest Las Vegas.Las Vegas is and will continue to be a great place to invest for buy and hold investors.

I have allowed the security deposit or deposits to be spread over an acceptable time compared to their rent.A unit I have is in an HOA that requires a security deposit equal to 1 month's rent, then I charge 1st month's rent, and my security deposit for the inside of the unit.It is not that uncommon these days depending on total amount requested that they may not have all the funds.

However, it is not uncommon for investors to buy a leasehold property as an investment - obviously the numbers need to work for them to recapture their initial investment as well as offer a satisfactory ROI.  

It's not uncommon for a Realtor to have been working with the same buyer for 6-12 months before going under contract.

I've been at this a while (almost 20 years) and I would say that, without reviewing that program (which I am  not familiar with), $4,500 profit on the low side, if he's claiming that to be the average) may or may not be so but there are many cases where you'll make less (I've done small transactions that netted around $2,500 on the low side) and also many where you'll make more than that ($7,000 and up is not uncommon) -- it depends on the outstanding balance of the note, LTV and a host of other factors.Re "wholesaling", be wary of "daisy chains" where would-be brokers try and pass themselves off as end buyers. 

@Ralph Hunter I have seen those concrete ones and I love them, but I'm not entirely sure if tenants would like them since they are uncommon in my area.

If they have un-common names you may get lucky. 

In Los Angeles it's not uncommon to hit a list 10 times more That said, being a transaction engineer where you help Sellers solve problems, where you can offer a listing as a solution if there's enough equity, or a sub to or a lease option or wraparound mortgage purchase  Lastly, a joint venture with the seller, helping them sell by buying it, fixing it, and reselling it quickly, earning a joint venture fee, is another tool to use with all your leads  Bill Gulley talks about a TIC or a tenants-in-common contract Bottom line, fill your toolbox up, don't be a one trick pony, be a transaction engineer

Hi @Marc Oister, if this is your first time hitting this list, a low response would not be uncommon.

Hard to pin down lender motivation.Back before short sale was a household word and an income stream for agents, it was not uncommon to negotiate discounts with a lender as a successor in interest and as someone with a controlling interest in the property (as opposed to the borrower).As for liability, what liability are you referring to?
