I can likely secure a discount for you and share my insights—no sales pitch involved.Best,Troy Copeland | TNT Vacation Rentals

You are looking for motivated sellers.Finding distressed properties doesn't mean the owners are willing to sell at a discount.

However, this load should be paid off a little after a year so I do not think it makes much sense to do it and not sure what will happen to the RE market via the president swap.3) I am not a Professional Engineer Yet so doing the work for them at a discount would not be much help yet.

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

The more affordable price points with foreclosures the less the discount tends to be. 

It makes us feel that they are trying to hide their identities 2) we could not find any information on the founder of the company 3) could not find any info on the company on the internet 4) when they ask us to pay, they have a discount with Zelle.

What they will not tell you is that they have the power to lower the price and offer discounts.

Why would someone sell a note at 20% discount at closing?

Also much easier to manage contractors to rehab.The key is finding discounts.
