In these market, retail buyers are frequently "leveraging" the bank of mom and dad to put cash offers in.So, while leverage is frequently used and can help supersize your assets and cash flow, if you are losing out on deals because you are putting in financed offers, you are still not getting anywhere.My personal recommendation would be to put in as strong an offer as you can, i.e. cash if possible, and quick close.
