But its not too unusual to say "3 days after closing" or some such.

Here its a county office, but I think that's unusual.

If the borrower recently used credit to finance vehicles, trips, toys and the like as they will be uncovered by the lender when the lender runs a credit report on the borrower.Copies of Bank Statements: If the seller’s bank statements reflect unaccountable deposits, large cash withdrawals, or an unusual number of checks, it's probably a good idea to explain each of those line items to the lender.

And if you do this, you are likely not a young 20 something by that point or you took some unusual steps that most people don't- which would warrant an interesting post. 

If you get 15 to 30 % response that is not just unusual, it is ridiculously successful and you should be ready to take advantage of every single bit of it.

It's not unusual that folks (including many investors) will pay cash for property and regret the decision relatively quickly for one reason or another possibly due to a lack of experience.

Yellow letters have an unusually high expectation for this sort of thing and there are many reasons for that.

Enjoy the unusual allowances....

What I don't understand is why you think this is such an unusually big spread.
