Aloha, In a market where the sale-to-list price is 97.9%, homes sold above list price is 18.7%, and homes with price drops is 51.4%, I’m exploring how to respectfully submit an offer with a 30% to 50% discount on the listing price.Beside from the following actions, are there any additional steps I can take to ensure my approach is considerate to both the seller and my agent?

If it gets you that distraught, maybe you look at respecting or ignoring someone's opinion without discounting just so you don't come off looking like a desperate shill.

The short answer is yes to MTR in multis, being respectful of the other tenants and the allotment of LTR, MTR, STR of the units.

I am going to respectfully disagree with you on this statement.  

You’ve heard from several experts I respect so nothing I say below is any reason to believe otherwise.

This contrasts greatly with most accountability partnerships, as a mentor is typically more respected as an authoritative figure.

Use surveys to gather feedback on their experience.When tenants feel valued and respected, they’re more likely to take care of the property and renew their leases, saving owners time and money.Fairness with VendorsVendors play a crucial role in maintaining properties, and treating them fairly ensures they remain reliable partners.

RESPECT!

The bleeding is now over and you can move on with a quality tenant that will provide you the cash flow and property respect that you deserve. 

You could set up one LLC to own your 4 rental properties and quit-claim deed them over and that would be the maximum I'd do with respect to LLC formation.
