Either option is a win.

Whenever I am not able to create a win-win I know it is not a good deal.

If a seller has two same price offers, one for cash and one with FHA, the cash offer is pretty much guaranteed to win.

A first mortgage is a win for him rather than being in second place. 

You'd ideally be winning in the "rent savings" department, but also be cash flowing each month.

They pay me cash or they use a credit card. 

.· Lack of communication (Getting them on the phone feels like winning the lottery).· Dishonest.· Lower Fees on the front end when signing up for services.

Now I can gladly say I’m sitting with 4 well-maintained credit cards with a 750+ credit score.

High earnest money, high option money, short option periods, appraisal waivers, financing waivers, and offer prices well above asking are still required to win in many cases.Many listings are no longer receiving multiple offers in the first 24 hours and going under contract in the first few days.

So we’ve just had our offer accepted on our 2nd property in this crazy market and after celebrating our little win our lender has brought to our attention that being that our down payment and closing costs will be funded from our savings which we without knowing transferred our income tax from our checking to savings .
