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

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

Usually, we keep the renewal to a discount to market rent to incentive people to stay and not incur vacancy and turnover costs, but that discount depends on many factors. - How good of a tenant are they?

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.

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

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

Just like you I have been thinking into mentorship programs and I have gone to Multifamily Mindset ($40K), Apartment Educators ($20K) which is based in Texas, and now I am looking into RE Mentor (mentor of co-founder of Multifamily Mindset) and it's a 3 day seminar for $1500 (but they end up giving you a *one time discount* if you sign up during the free 2 hour event for $995 but it is possible to sign up for their mentorship program through their website if you can't go to their free event).

Some water companies will reduce the bill if it is due to a leak, but the fact that the tenant waited three billing cycles to say anything means they may not get much of a discount.

We went way over our expected budget - by far our worse budget miss ever (remarkably we were only 0.5 week over our 2 month timeline).Using my rule, take the estimates and double them then add for lost occupancy and that is what I would be seeking or the owner have the work done using licensed contractors and do the work, take the risks, and suffer the vacancy costs.If you purchase having to do the work and your appraisal can handle it, the credit at closing is superior to price discount.  

They buy at deep discounts and have economies of Scale to be able to wait out the time when Homes Prices and Rent Prices must rise eventually.It's a lose-lose for Mom and Pop but a Win-Win for Big Money Landlords.It's the complete opposite of what the Liberal's intentions wanted and they will fall into self-delusion that it's a Conspiracy of the Rich.
