I consider that stealing. 

I may have to steal that one from you, I hope you don't mind. 

Sort of like stealing from me to pay his rent.  

Noone knows who this person is, if they would steal, damage, etc the property.  2nd, as a listing agent, I try to get potential buyers in there as soon as possible, knowing the next deal could be one mouse -click away from them no longer wanting my property. 

@Rich NgWe experienced an almost identical scenario a couple of years ago  - I bumped into the Vendor shortly after the building closed and learned our offer was not presented.  

I did my research, came up with the money (much of it hard money at 5%), and got the deal under contract for $110k/unit - which is a steal in Portland!

I'm in Muncie from time to time, but I've never come across a steal like that one.

Deals in that "higher range" are considered a steal and much harder to get. 

Some may be looking for easy access to your financial identity.

Let us run a little thought experiment to see if the 50% rule holds water. 2 houses, physically identical in every way, shape and form.
