My 3BR rents range from $1,425 to $2,000 which shows why it is almost impossible to give you meaningful rent data without you being more specific.At this point, I wouldn't discount the online systems such as Zillow so much.

Be straight forward with tenants. 

I have been offering weekly discount but thought of doing a special with a minimum stay for those dates.  

What better way to gain insights than go straight to the source on sentiment instead of trying to work backwards with data and reports.

Probably the same reason hotels sell their unbooked ADA compliant rooms at a discount. 

As for property taxes, I won't say it hasn't ever happened, but I would think on most properties it would be very unlikely to negotiate those to a discount by the original seller. 

Cutting to the business side quickly makes sense, and for some sellers, it’s all about getting straight to the point.

The price is not going to be discounted due to the designer's ineptness sadly.

@Drago Stanimirovic thank you, and you are right I will probably do cost segregation studies at some point, but so far I have still been able to get to a loss on my taxes using the straight line 27.5 year depreciation schedules, I will probably do the cost segregation studies once I can't show a loss anymore, which will happen at some point as the rents increase and the amortization schedules shift to more principle and less interest.

And what were the things you thought would be very difficult but turned out to be straight-forward later on?
