Ive certainly purchased properties at serious discounts to the listing price....but it wasnt just random shotgunning of the offers.What I usually start with when trying to see if a lowball offer is appropriate is having a conversation with the listing agent first.

They may want to extend for a year after the 6 months at a discounted LTR rate or it is simply a transition place while they look to buy, etc

is this a good way to buy a property at a discounted price? 

You could also look into a house cleaning service that offers a discounted first time cleaning.

If you will be purchasing materials those cards offer some discounts and in addition you can get pro discounted pricing on larger orders as well.

Offer to give him a slight discount if he stays, certainly no more than 10% below market.

I purchased the project mid flow for a discount and completed it with the builder.The Appraisal: The 2025 property tax appraisal we received went from 1.66M to 2.43M (46.4% increase).

I have been through the BK route more than a few times in 40 years of HML ing.. and as Don states it can be just crazy what happens what the debtor will do what the BK trustee will do what the judge will do.. that all said if your position in the note is discounted enough probably still worth it. but in my mind to pay 90% and if there is not SIGNIFICANT upside I personally would not do it unless you have a repositioning play or something that no one else sees. 

Known for its "Blue Light Specials," the discount chain was once a retail powerhouse with over 2,000 stores across the U.S.

Say I have a first position performing note, what is a typical discount I should expect to give when selling?
