Nope.. developers by and large are not going to cash you out and take the entitlement risk for such a small discount.. maybe 500k discount they would but not 100k.. not going to happen unless you find a developer that is not very bright and has money burning a hole in their pocket.

From my understanding the 15-18% IRR promoted by syndicators generally does not include these tax benefits either, so it is still a fair comparison.AssumptionsI had to make a few assumptions about the property and mortgage interest rate:Property value = $180,000Rent = $1680Mortgage Interest Rate = 6%I also made assumptions related to other costs such insurance, taxes, property management, maintenance, capital expenses and vacancy.
