A client has asked me before whether it better to ask my tenants shovel the driveway and walkways (and offer a slight discount on rent) or should I hire a company to do it myself to make sure it gets done properly?

Welcome to BP @Spencer Tillman, we noticed you aren’t a Pro member at this time and we would love to offer you a 20% off discount to start taking action in investing with confidence!

You only really have a couple of options.HELOC/LOC with the property as security.Refinance the first and walk away with a bigger first.A great way to get into properties with little money down though is to buy distressed assets at a discount, force appreciate them, and refinance to pull the cash out.

He came back and said that discussing price discounts that he's established with vendors wasn't appropriate.  

That said, I also have a friend who does flooring and gets a warehouse discount, so thats a plus. 

Purchase Discount: It's crucial to buy properties at a deep discount if you plan to BRRRR and get cash back.

It it a tremendous help!

You would have lot of negotiation later on with buyer.If discount is substantial I am not afraid buying home with roof issue or lien, that's easy to solve when you have the cash.

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.
