I wish we had $100k discounts haha

We just spoke about that on the last episode of the Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast. 

But, also to avoid markups and assure payment for lien purposes.But, when a contractor gets discounts prepayment may not be avoided. 

Also,  you will save a lot of money on discounts on rehab materials, vendors, contractors, title company numbers, etc. from their "mastery member" discounts . 

Would you: A) Sell the lots now at a discount, take a loss but at least get some money back out to try and redeploy elsewhere. 

Keep in mind that about 40% of the population rents.I agree with you that buying a run-down property requires experience, the biggest concern is that you don't get enough discount for the condition.

That is a $40K discount or $40K cash back to you as an Academy investor on a brand new $400K home from one many national builders across multiple different markets.

Then if 50% of bookings actually use the "included add-on" with a standard $100 coupon, that's $2000 in services I have to fulfill (for now I'm assuming they all use the full $100 but I'd set it up where it's a discount code and I charge for any extra amount).

I've seen them from $3500 to $10,000, more than that if it's a retail roofer that isn't giving an investor discount

If you are watching any of these home rehab shows , I will tell you straight up , they are BS .
