I've learned of a few other options: http://www.searchq.com looked promising but it didn't load. https://www.corelogic.com seems to be $3 per report with the possibility of a $2 discount using promo code 20FFREPORT. https://parcelviewer.mapport.com/ seems to provide a 24 hour unlimited pass for $10. https://www.propertyshark.com seems to be $4.95 per report.

Because of the comp based value approach used, the only way to get your money out is to buy at a discount and rehab to bring the value up to market.

There are usually a few big names that do like 80% of the deals.Also don’t discount your benefits and future growth potential at your w2.

The cell tower companies that buy them were generally offering 30 cents on the dollar for the income stream.Their spiel was that the income stream might not last the full term of the lease so they discount it.Maybe companies now pay up for them but this was 10 years ago.

And if you do want to wait for that super discount day, if it ever happenes again, just sock away some extra money so you can keep playong during the downturn.

My concern is do I buy a property now or do I wait for a discounted market where I'm able to go buy 2 or maybe 3 properties with the similar amounts of capital therefor providing a kickstart, mitigate risks through lower costs, lower interest rates, more cash flowing properties and set myself on a greater initial trajectory to scale faster. 

Granted, you could have times where there are less buyers out there and you could "feel" like the market is discounting your property, but again over time I would think that should even out.- For too long, I have also been too apprehensive thinking the market is going to "correct," but that has likely cost me a lot of money. 

If you need money to make that happen, Apply at Home Depot and pick up a few extra hours to get a discount.

I recently used all my cash ($200,000) to purchase a couple lots of vacant land at a huge discount near where I live.

I bought it at a deep enough discount.
