Discount them all 10% or 20% and once you have 1 under contract take the othe 3 off the market. 

What sort of discount (dollars and percent) are you getting for the squatter properties?

Instead they are looking for the last minute discounts.

This niche of real estate investing can be a great resource for buying properties at a steep discount and can be used if you fix and flip houses, own rentals, or simply want to earn a return on your money.

Their rent helps to tremendously offset my high rental expenses (apartment rent, building storage fee, parking).

Then you should have nothing to worry about.For many years now we have been telling investors to use their own expense deductions when calculating a return on investment.Our marketing team only quotes the “hard costs” as in - taxes, insurance and property management fees.We suggest discounting another 15% from the bottom line for maintenance and vacancy but I’d much prefer for everyone to OVERESTIMATE the expenses and UNDERESTIMATE the income using their own calculations.If the numbers work out then, the investment might be worth pursuing further.Classifying areas can sometimes get convoluted.Since I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth and consider myself a working class guy, my perception of B class might be someone’s of “Z class” lolMy advice to all is to visit town and see the areas for themselves.I’m confident they will be impressed.Especially if they have already toured other markets with similar price points to ours.Real estate is a rollercoaster of a ride and as much as we want to make it hands off/passive.

I am NOT discounting it.

I just think it's a little naive to discount all the properties that are run by PMs.

I decided to move to Columbus OH where there’s a much lower barrier for entry than LA but with a tremendous upside.

this might require a discount over selling them as individuals.
