No set fee...for years is was about $100 for 10 days....walk away and seller keeps it....move forward and it goes towards your purchase price.....Gradually it has gone up and the # of days has gone down....from 10 it went to 7 days...last 3 years or so I have seen go to 5 and often 3 days...and not uncommon now to have NO due diligence period. 

Yeah since we're not in a city, getting guests during the week is pretty uncommon.

That is not uncommon for a 30-year loan. 

I guess it is not so uncommon.

Uncommon, but some people have leased when they thought they'd bought (automobiles) or even swindled and with a signed contract you are bound to the terms.

To qualify for FHA owner-occupied financing you have to intend to live there at the time you take out the loan but circumstances can and do change - job changes, marriage/divorce, illness and other reasons for relocation so it is not uncommon for someone to leave a home they originally financed as owner occupied.

I mean 20 to 100k over ask is not uncommon.  

Hi,I've noticed that it's not uncommon to see homes where the garages were converted into separate living space.

@Eric Fung   Its not uncommon that just swap the outlets without running the ground wire EXCEPT in the kitchen and baths where you do run the ground and install GFI outlets per most places code.Your area's code may require the ground wires in bedrooms/hallways (the remaining outlets).   

It's not uncommon still (at least in Indy) to find these deals in Class C areas (some Class B), but the closer you get to Class A and Class B (just historically speaking across the board) areas the % margin tends to go up in a lot of cases.
