That might be the biggest hurdle - but otherwise, I'd check out "DSCR Loans" which are the perfect option for people like you looking to buy rental properties w/o W2 or DTICheck out this 12-part guide published here on BP all about this loan option!

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

With some of my clients, I've seen discounts of 30% to 90%.Here is a real-life example: I invested in a $50K note; it was second TD but with significant equity (over $200K) protecting my investment. 

If you're expecting property owners to sell their home to you at a discount, you'll need to earn their trust - whether that be by demonstrating a successful track record with purchasing/selling similar deals OR by meeting them face to face and separating yourself from the dozens of local investors and realtors.Lastly, I'd recommend searching past posts related to this topic as well as checking out books related to your target investment strategies.All the best!

They were discounting my policy cost for no longer covering vehicles.  

I don't hold them in my portfolio but I do wholesale them to other investors since the discounts are deeper.  

Did you buy at a discount or somehow force equity?

I wouldn't discount that credit report.

Do the Airbnb discounting, price a little under market, make sure your cleaning fees are at or below average, looser cancellation policies will all help.

MOST transaction aren’t BELOW market, although I’d venture that 85% of those buyers BELIEVE they’re purchasing real property at a discount.
