Try having your Architect wave his fees and take on a partnership role instead.

but having set criteria will keep the ship afloat regardless of temporary hiccups. my hypothesis: Real estate will continue to go up in value in short term as well as the long term. there may be waves but that's why you built the strong ship to withstand them till the oceans are smooth again.

As far as beating out other offers, you can always write the offer in a way that helps your stand out with using a VA loan, adjust some of the contingencies, don't wave them, but adjust the time on some of them.  

If it were me waving it I would possibly cap it to a point but do my due-diligence beforehand and work with my agent to review comps and get a solid feel on the value so if the appraisal is short- if you still feel confident its worth it to you to pay what you are offering, then I would consider waiving it. 

It seems people are moving back in, but I think the primary driver is the reduced rent rates that motivate some people to jump back in and hope they can ride the wave up.It's too early to tell but I could see a shift in demographics as people attempt to escape the heavy taxes and regulation.

However, here in Ga, as long as you don't explicitly wave your right to the 8-day unilateral extension, it's there for you to use.
