Another
reason for including financing information in your offer is to protect
yourself. If interest rates suddenly become volatile and rise quickly, as

At the same
time, the seller will probably want to see that you have some flexibility
in the financing terms you are willing to accept. If interest rates are
currently at eight percent and you indicate this is the highest rate you
will accept, you would be able to cancel the contract without penalty if
interest rates rose past that point. The seller would suffer because they
have lost valuable marketing time and may have made their own plans based
on successfully closing the transaction.
