I don't know where you're investing, so take this with a grain of salt, but at least in the markets I'm active in, "clean" offers (meaning most/all contingencies waived) are pretty common if you're buying investor grade properties and competing with all cash offers. 

Mind you I’m not a major player with large amounts of units.  

In that case, no not if the lender is competent. 

If you only bid on safe properties for the interest; then you are competing with others that often drive the interest rate down to 6% or less.

Hey All,I’m trying to get some unbiased feedback towards a major Utah real estate player, named Kris Krohn.

You are also competing against the builder.

@Jeffrey Douglas It would be advisable to get someone competent to help you take a look at the HVAC.

For instance, if the rental is in a very expensive part of town where all landlords are competing for tenants who are shopping and paying for high-end finishes. 

My names is Hakeem Valles, I am a recently retired NFL player and just settled my family down in St Louis. 

Eventually, the property will be listed on the market but you'll be competing with everyone else.
