Would you forecast that there will be some big discounts on these in a few years as people realize that they cant afford to hold onto themthank you!

I am thinking the Pros of the HELOC/HEL are a faster closing, perhaps a cash discount for the purchase, no PMI, lower rate/cheaper closing?

Something many new investors don't think about is that property managers usually negotiate volume discounts for some of this stuff.

., I wouldn't discount wholesalers entirely.

I’d recommend listening to the straight up Chicago investor podcast for local information, going to the variety of meetups that are in this great city, and meeting a lot of the people posting here. 

While may not have high amount minimums, they may have a minimum $ threshold for cc processing, Ours is $0.60, with a discounted plan that could be a few as 8 records.

We are only selling completed homes with our own in house financing currently at 3.75%, a huge discount from most bank rates.We are a long time property provider for some of the bigger podcasters: Real Estate Guys Radio, Marco Santorelli (Norada), Kathy Fetke (RWN) Jason Hartman ( Empowerd Investor) GRE (Keith Weinhold), Whitecoat Investor Group and more We also work with American Homes for Rent, Invitation Homes, Crescent, Haven Realty (JP Morgan) to name a few on the institutional side We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects.

I think that a Short Sale would be the best option to get some discounts/concessions from the lender - however you would need to have a knowledgable Short Sale agent on the seller side.
