I purchased a fourplex myself (Grocapitus did not give me a discount), and have seen projected rents spike by over $200 per month beyond what was projected).

As I addressed in another discussion, most money in real estate is made by long term appreciation and by improving, repositioning, and stabilizing the property, NOT thru purchasing at a discounted price.  

If get somebody inexperienced at a discount, you are taking a chance. 

The owner has taken it off market and I'm just trying to explore my options of selling it off market for a deeply discounted price.  

I would recommend matching old reservation rates and offering free gifts to secure good reviews and booking momentum. 

CA has the highest sales tax rate in the country.

The initial online material is $97 and the 3-day certification is $1,495 (after $1,000 discount), all which will be reimbursed with first few deals. 

"Buy the property, but date the rate!".

Can Real Estate Really Be Purchased “At A Discount” ?

Notice how they presume they are going to buy the asset at a substantial discount from the lender.
