Example: really nice 350k property, HGTV ready, multiple offers - my clients had a home sale contingency and a VA loan, normally a non-starter and we still got the deal!

I'm seeing just as many people wanting to see homes and being "on the prowl" as normal, but the difference is -- ALL are retail home-buyers. 

It is an unrealistic proposal to expect there is a way to sanitize an area like a normal residence.If there WAS a way to sanitize a public area effectively, we would have many fewer deaths at hospitals because of the contagion at hospitals.Broom clean is good enough!

Do you think we're taking too much of a gamble with what we know?

Its normally pretty hard to get it done during normal times....the current inventory crisis however makes it impossible.

Normally, I would urge you to invest local for your first property.

Is this the way you normally send it? 

When I first started 10 days was normal option period or at least not unusual...then it moved to 7 as the market got stronger, now not unusual to see 3 and 5 or 0. 

Would 20% down be relatively normal for commercial?

I'm making a couple assumptions here.I don't normally deal with commercial mortgages, but this one is a 5 unit.
