If I am writing an offer local all cash for a property with no contingency versus a foreigner who has to come see it then in the sellers eyes the out of country investor is more risky.     

Does your application indicate a contingency and "the right to refuse occupancy at anytime during the application process"?

This all is, of course, contingent on the deal being good and feasible.

You can offer any deal as a cash deal essentially by not putting a financing contingency in the offer.

There's a "no financing" clause, no inspection contingencies, it's a cash auction sale via auction.com.  

Now that I'm typing out the question, I'm guessing it's a contingency in my offer?

Is there a financing contingency? 

Another is to lease option it.I think my favorite piece of verbage in a wholesale contract is the following "contract is contingent upon buyer's written approval after inspection within X days."

Hi @Jared Cacciapaglia   also consider that using a private lender will allow you to present offers as "cash offers" and close in a short timeframe, all things that should make your offer stronger and more appreciated by the seller.This should grant you better sale conditions, or at least to avoid being kicked off the deal (many sellers do not deal at all with financing contingency offers, as you surely know).I had hard times in getting offers approved by using the conventional financing…Of course you need to make your numbers before to proceed with private lending as the interest could be eating out the profit, but for flippings that's ok

But, the offer was contingent on owner financing – nothing down and payments of $800 per month for the next 125 months.Is this a good deal?
