But if you're buying from normal sellers (i.e. not banks or institutions) you can use the inspection to justify a resolution of unacceptable conditions and have them fix a few things or get a price discount.On fixers, they likely won't give any discount, but it's also very important to know what you're getting into.

If you sell to a flipper/investor/wholesaler, they're going to want a big discount so they can make profit, have a margin for error, cover holding costs, etc. so you're just adding in people who want to make money. 

Although this trend may be temporary, substantial pricing discounts could attract more corporate investment into the sector.A notable example is CoStar's acquisition of Central Place Tower in Arlington, Virginia.

But I have seen opportunities to be a on sight PM at a steeply discounted rental rate.

Permitting costs can be reduced for facilities with multiple buildings ongoing as they can negotiate discounts and use a third party to permit that is certified by the state.Now, you do need to transport the home, but here distance is a factor, sure if you are going to ship 100's of miles this can add up but in general there is a service area for delivery at nominal cost.Those designs over 1 story will cost more as you need to rent a crane but that is another area you can manage cost.In the end I am pushing back against a blanket statement that "modulars cost as much and are built to poor quality" because frankly that is wrong.

They're up front about one tenant getting discounted rent for doing lawn/snow, etc. 

In calculating the Net Present Value of the investment, what is the appropriate methodology to use in arriving at a discount rate?

With higher priced land, of course, fees can be discounted. $20k piece of land is very different from a $300k lot. 3.

They also have technical reps that will do a 1-on-1 call to help with your pricing settings.On Airbnb, add length of stay pricing discounts to guests for 3, 4, 5, 7, and 30 nights.
