It might be good to have a tenant who is doing maintainance and oversight for a rental discount even whilst the property management company is away. 

Otherwise, you're just guessing.I can tell you in my area there's a pretty decent discount, usually more than the cost of adding central heat and air.

Now has you probably know as a wholesaler I need to buy at a deep discounted price.  

I am a real estate investor in search of wholesale and Rehab properties at great discounts.

Hi @Jarrod English,Not trying to discount your efforts, but you might want to get licensed if you plan on helping people sell a house.

I feel like I would be better off offering 200$ discount to a handyman type, as opposed to 170/month to a management company who will bill out everything that goes wrong.

Anyway, YOUR Offer should aim to get you that 30%+ discount you'll want/need whether you're Flipping or BRRRRing!

Sears has a outlet with deeply discounted appliances that have a scratch and set in a place you cannot see.

Did you get it at a good discount and then do a value add?  

I think all you need is a title company to close your transactions - no don't need an account at this time - most title companies have lawyers to close your transactions -You should make sure that you buy real estate at a giant discount - Understand the management process - learn how to be a good landlord - a tenant is a customer - the tenant is the person who will pay for your mortgage - treat them well.Find discounted real estate from landlords who find themselves in rent court -Start to deal directly with owners - I don't think you should depend on agents selling retail properties - you need to go under-ground for great deals -Tax salesPublic AuctionsRun print ads and radio commercialsInternet - 5 weeks ago I created an internet site - I have received over 200 leads - have 70 offers out there and 15 ratified contracts - learn those systems and you will do well.Expired listings - go knock on some of those doors - an expired listing is  FAILURE of property to sell - I am sure the sellers are not happy - go find them and solve their problems.Direct mail to commercial properties owners - commercial buildings can be  great profit center - when you advertise for real estate - signs - internet or mailings always advertise - WANTED REAL ESTATE - houses - commercial and non-conforming properties - all cash -as is - no commission.
