Some appliances have volume builder discount - I will contact them directly to see where they will direct you to. 

Also, it seems to me that the commentators to my thread are thinking I'm throwing out low offers to see what sticks.This isn't the case at all.I'm an Investor that buys for FUTURE appreciation of both Cash Flow and Appreciation. 6 of the 8 Investment Properties I bought were from retail advertising from Brokers on the MLS.I am already wealthy and believe in setting up a win-win scenario for everyone, including the Seller, the Broker, and myself.I don't believe getting a 5% discount now on a price is worth it in my scenario.For instance, I bought a property 2000 for $140k purchase price.

Cash talks, and sometimes will get you a discount - though being out of state, it might be hard to find the best deals.

These guys will cash you out after 6 months seasoning as well, meaning if you get a solid discount you could get all your money back, and possibly more.Private Lender- If you have a private lender that you could offer a long term loan, maybe 2 years or so, you will probably have to pay them a higher interest rate, but it's better then not picking up rentals for another 2 years.Lastly, bring on an partner who has solid income history.  

The 'discount' you would be looking for would be more in the sense of finding a property that is undermanaged, in regards to rents and expenses, etc.

A Solo 401(k) is not a WalMart discount special.  

Check with local vendors (even Home Depot) if they give a discount to businesses (assuming you started an LLC.. if not, it's not the end of the world). 

It looks like they have failed to make payments since April (we have been paying rent on time, auto-withdrawn from bank account).Ideally:  I'd like to have the loan/trustee waive all fees and interest, potentially lower the asking price ($10,000 discount on a $160,000 outstanding balance of a home that would likely appraise for $185,000) and we'd immediately go through the purchase process as is.Do I need to bring the Trustee into the discussion with the owner at the same time to make this deal go through?

Here is a great article from Realtor.com that gives great insight on the best markets for real estate investors. https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/best...Your $100k-$150k will allow to acquire 1-3 properties at a discount that cash flow well.

However, there are still many good deals out there, and as a wholesaler I also see a ton of off market properties that come in at a deep discount.
