The "a little high compared to comps" generally means it's not a good deal - as a wholesaler you need to negotiate a substantial discount off of market value. 

His numbers indicate he has achieved the needed equity gain.Be sure to find a property that needs a sufficient amount of repair and purchase at a good discount to allow for the needed increase in Value.  

I get a 35% discount that passes on to the tenants through my Realtor board. 

The costs you reference ($5,000) are part of your discount purchase price from the note seller.

But as far as valuing the entire building to determine a purchase price, you should be getting a price based on NOI, so definitely at a discount for the empty tenant.Again, for your sake, you have to ask why it’s been vacant?

Such a discounted price allows for a lot of problems and still make money.

I always think it is better to give a one time discount (applied to the second months rent) than lowering the rent significantly.

I used to discount the Airbnb, but I just make it the same and if I get a listing on air then great if not not big loss.As far as maintaining a other site it is just a bunch of copying and pasting and uploading same pictures.I find the air site and app a little more cumbersome to navigate and find things but I would recommend using it to pick up a few more listings.

How do you decide how much of a discount is enough of a discount?

Realtors keep advertising something along the lines of "Location Location Location WONT LAST INVESTORS DREAM", but this isn't selling.Some of them make me giggle a bit by offering a 10k discount off a 1 mil price as if that is going to do anything.
