Since you have two unit, you can do a simultaneous refi with one lender as they usually give discounts for multi pack submissions. 

So, yes, I feel there might be a bit of a discount on the commission if they are getting so many units to sell, but they are still putting in a lot of work, so I wouldn't grind them too hard.

Over twenty years of working in business development, she has tremendous experience in growing relationships.

Sometimes you can find someone that is willing to sell to you at a discount since they are tired of owning it, and want to use the money to focus on a more passive investment.

*Also due to my job, I should be able to take advantage of our processes and bookkeeping department at a highly discounted price. 

I wanted to become adept at sourcing off market deals for other investors so I could get deep discounts for them and also for myself How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You buy a problem to get a discount.

And there's a time value of money formula or discount rate formula you can run to compare the 2 scenarios. 

I also co-host properties for a discount for clients (I have over a dozen currently) at a much lower rate than the market 20-30% which really helps.  

I bought it because I love this city for cashflow and buy & hold investing, even at that price the deal and numbers still made sense, so I didnt care about getting it at a discount.
