Episode notes
Use Speed To Beat Higher Offers
- Close faster to win offers: sellers often prefer quicker closings and will favor buyers who can pay sooner.
- Use cash, hard money, or private money to shorten timelines and strengthen your bid compared with 30+ day financed closings.
Choose Seller-Friendly Financing
- Match your financing type to seller preferences; cash is best, then conventional, then FHA/VA.
- Explore alternative lending options to present a more attractive financing route when possible.
Be Careful With Escalation Clauses
- Avoid automatic escalation clauses if possible; they can overpay you or reveal strategy and many listings ban them.
- If used, cap your escalation and set clear limits to prevent paying too much.
