Since then, I still do some creative finance, but also do many BRRRR which also I have to buy them at a healthy discount.

In addition to joining the seller to the buyer at the hip for several years/decades when the seller wants a clean break, the properly-discounted, risk-weighted, money to be received by the seller is less than the immediate sale price.

For example, one of our tenants gets discounted rent from April-October for managing the landscaping. 

If it’s possible to get enough of the renovation done quickly then I’d move in some tenants even at a discount to provide protection from the squatter.

Start small and scale up gradually as you gain experience and capital.Don't discount tax savings from rental while building your portfolio.

And some of the biggest repairs not for some time (roof 20, hvac 10, etc) .To me, building a new sfh should allow you to get a bigger discount than what is typically available these days unless you're really getting lucky. 

If this is the case, and you are still trying to cut her out, then it's evident that you're trying to get a discounted deal. 

It's a simple, straight forward platform.

Just to set the record straight, because Praxis Capital was mentioned…I have been investing in real estate since 1989, and Multifamily since 2002, with zero investor losses.  

Many states have laws against this, but stop saying you are "helping them out", you are not, you are trying to take advantage of them to sell their home at a discount. 13.
