In addition to peace of mind, it's a great tool to use when sending resolutions of unacceptable conditions where you can either get a price discount or a line repair from the seller if the sewer scope shows problems with the line. 

Thanks Hi Mireille, Is the lender charging you discount points on top of the origination fee?

A lot of owners already panic selling at discounted prices / price cuts.

Should take the opportunity and ask the bank to renegotiate the purchase price at a deep discount? 

I wanted to propose he sell to me at a 20% discount and I would lease it back to him for an extended period of time. 

The heavy discount for List Source and the skip tracing was a big draw for my interest.

Hello all - this is a complicated situation (at least to me) and I would like some advice for any other experienced attorney's and real estate investors.I have a 21 Unit portfolio under contract, that is in pre-foreclosure and I am buying it at a good discount.

Check back in 1-2 years when syndications are dumping their MF here at a discount.  

I'm debating to just giving the buyer a discount or money back so that he can address these repairs after closing but I just thought if I did these repairs prior to closing, if that would benefit me tax wise.If I put in a new roof and add a new sewer pipe to the property would that have any tax advantages even though I am selling the property in the same year?

Essentially my bottom line will likely be effected nearly 30-40% because of discounts I will have to give for longer stays.I guess my questions are the following:1.
