We connected with a jet ski and boat rental company near our lake for a discount and commission per booking at one property. 

I’m trying to sell it at a discounted rate just to get out, but having no luck.

We've considered offering a discount for doing so but so far we haven't because for the most part everyone pays on time with no issues.

New roof, exterior painting, new flooring, bathroom updates, finished new living space What was the outcome?

Even if you think it is the tenant in that bedroom, how can you prove tenant B didn't decide to take a bath in there instead of a shower in their bathroom when tenant A was not home?

Added a bathroom and remodeled existing.Opened kitchen to diningNew roof, driveway, windows and mechanicalsRefreshed landscaping, hardwood floors and paintWhat was the outcome?

Short 1.5 minute video walk through of all of the rooms, bathrooms, common areas, etc. 

A good investor agent that is plugged in with local wholesalers, is prospecting, and marketing on their own will have plenty of discounted off market opportunities that will have less eyeballs on them then the MLS.

With some of my clients, I've seen discounts of 30% to 90%.Here is a real-life example: I invested in a $50K note; it was second TD but with significant equity (over $200K) protecting my investment. 

If you're expecting property owners to sell their home to you at a discount, you'll need to earn their trust - whether that be by demonstrating a successful track record with purchasing/selling similar deals OR by meeting them face to face and separating yourself from the dozens of local investors and realtors.Lastly, I'd recommend searching past posts related to this topic as well as checking out books related to your target investment strategies.All the best!
