Loving the upside of AI / Robotics for the stocks / ETFs / Mutual Funds to be the appreciating collateral for my discounted real estate buys using my strong local bank partners.  

Thanks VG.Time is money and we let go of landlords that are too demanding and won't allow us to do our job properly.For a large chunk of business like this, I guess it's ok to discount prices a bit and be flexible.Back in the day I was stubborn and not flexible at all.It served me well I guess but nowadays I'm a bit more experienced and a lot more understanding lolBut it does seem like we would have to eat too much $#%@ if we took this business on.Granted, I personally don't mind chewing on it all the way to the bank but it's my team that has to eat it also and to me, they are the one's doing the hard work and making it all happen.So protecting them is my priority.Thanks again for your comment mate 👍

I then can sell that land at a 50% discount for a quick cash sale. took 6 months. that's a good return. 

I had to go through "Contact us" to get the promo code to discount the book.

My strategy right now is to sell the land to a real estate developer to develop the home at a steep discount ($150,000) but make a claim on the stake of the overall project to get my remaining money back, plus the profit of the build. 

In fact I'd guess you could probably structure a discount into your agreement just because of the logistics (no roofs, no foundations, no yards). 1031 isn't a terrible idea but you've got a few hurdles outside of costs - you're going to have to have some possible properties already identified as your window is small, you'll still have to manage the property unless you go through a PM, you'll lock up more/most of your principal since you're going 'bigger'.

I'm more wondering what people are paying per piece for post cards vs. envelopes.I know with a metering system, you can get a pretty hefty discount on postage especially in bulk.

Few things for investment club (and this is good thing) :Sometimes there's secondary offering of Fund investment that one new LP can buy from other investor, for example investor ABC LP is selling his investment at XYZ Fund VII, lets say the par value is 100k, then you buy from him with 10% discount or 90k, so you buy asset literally with 10% discount.if you keep buying in secondary market hopefully your reward/risk is better as well.

I assume all your policies are giving you a discount for no claims.

This is where they can offer further discounts for you on the project.
