The guys we are training in Atlanta are focusing on buying proeprties not on the MLS so they can get the discounted costs.

If so, the lender might then sell it back to you at a discount.    

They are the ones that got straight A's in school because the go straight A's on all their tests. 

I know there's been some confusion, so I'm here to set the record straight.

I got this house at such a discounted rate because of the shape that it is in and because it was a friend who I am trying to help out.

A 50% discount from listing price could seem a little unrealistic..but I would not discourage any offer..As for expenses I would request copies of the sellers formal statements or records.

It seems like it would be easier to go straight to the listing agent, but some residential agents won’t do dual agency and it complicates things.

Just ask your broker for a discount.

However, I may still get to obtain a great property at a 30-40% discount. 

I tried to contact Edward- the sales guy listed on their website and he just told me because they gave me a discount, there is no credit for the the $149 fee that I paid to talk to a lawyer.
