If you need to arrange financing in order to buy the property, you will want to include a conditional clause such as "Subject to buyer obtaining financing satisfactory to the buyer on or before (insert number) of days from acceptance of offer." Be sure to include "satisfactory to the buyer" in this clause to ensure that not just any financing will force you to remove your condition. If you can get financing but it doesn't fit your system, you will want to have the option of not accepting it. On most small properties, such as single-family homes, condos and duplexes, 21 days is sufficient. [2009] - Don R. Campbell

When you do this a couple of times, it will become so natural and automatic that the prospect will never know what happened. And you will be back in control. [2004] - Brian Tracy
