@Dave Visaya thanks for the advice I'll try to make it but scheduling with my day job could be an issue.

My schedule ranges from fairly flexible to extremely busy.  

This can cut into your schedule depending on what they are.You may not be nearly as good at negotiating as you think ;-)

Delivered key to process agency, tell them my tenant's schedule, and they miss her.  

Not very good with communication/scheduling/follow upsPlease share your thoughts...

I'm also scheduling visits to some of these properties so that I can get a better sense of values and rents which will help me to recognize the diamond in the rough.

That is correct, the bank is looking to make sure the buyer can make it too the closing.

If it is not heavily marketed yet then usually you can lock it up fast before it goes out to the masses.What happens is usually a 1031 buyer is the best buyer because they are generally paying big taxes if they do not buy something unless another all cash buyer steps in at a similar price.If the property is very competitive that is when I would have my capital markets commercial mortgage person go through my financials and the aspects of the property with a fine tooth comb before even thinking of agreeing to no loan contingency.Now if you have a good attorney there can generally be put many other outs in the contract besides the loan you could use in due diligence to get EM back.My deals we generally put in a long due diligence period that doesn't start until ALL the listed items required from the seller have been received.If your professionals are not helping you with this stuff you really need to think of finding others who have those skills.No legal advice given.    

You'll put less money in and your payments will be slightly lower too. The
