1) cannot qualify for traditional financing2) fears appraisal will come in low3) fears buyer will back out so reduces contingency optionsnote for cash purchase I expect a significant discount.  

I prefer to buy my materials because of my discount and because I’m pretty savvy with finding solid deals on things.

I would be careful when looking at discount PMs because if they aren't making money, they likely have terrible systems in place for management. 

As best as I can tell on both sites, the algorithm looks something like this:Cheapest price>least restrictions (cancellation, # of days minimum, etc)>Premier/Super host>Review Scores>Most discounts (weekly, last minute, etc)>Regular revisions

I would check your price versus competition and check your length of stay discounts.  

Discount off asking is -0.3%.

The house is definitely on discount because of it, almost worth it to go through the trouble if the number makes sense. 

The structure for this is a discounted sale, lease back, buy back.One of the partners is a qualified intermediary as well that understands the plumbing behind it to make it 1031 compliant.If you have any questions on that - feel free to give me a buzz.

@Itay Heled Last year, Furnished Finder published a document called "the state of mid term rentals" and it showed that the users of FF want studios, 1 bed and 2 bed proerties. the demand for 3-4 bedrooms significantly drop. 

So there is no discount or profit to be made.
