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

Finally, even with a substantial discount, the house may not be worth it.

I'll message you directly a discount link to try it out. 

They expressed deep rooted reasons as to why that was and I’ll try to address those shortly.

Before I got to the payment screen, they prompted me to buy a secondary course on Virtual Wholesaling at a discount, another $250.

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.

The initial online material is $97 and the 3-day certification is $1,495 (after $1,000 discount), all which will be reimbursed with first few deals. 

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.

Without doing a deep dive explanation on this forum, I will say that everyone can play with numbers to create whatever picture you want.
