I am aiming to keep this long term.I plan on asking for repairs but I strongly doubt I will even get a discount.  

If I really wanted the Avon, Ct house, I would probably be willing to “exchange” this house as part of my down payment, at say a 5% discount after discounting for broker commission.

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.

What goes on with my system,  is that people are determined to sell to me, even at a huge discount.

The seller actually paid less in fees to sell the property off-market. (6% of $2.8 million would be $168k) He also got a quick and easy sale, and the buyer locked in a solid discount on the deal as it had recently appraised at $3.75 million What was the outcome?

In fact, it's tremendously difficult.

I'm extremely careful about how we originate 2nds and it's not for novice lenders and it certainly is not something I would buy - even at a steep discount.

As you can see from the images, the holding costs can add up tremendously.

He's someone I already knew, and he does the work for a small rent discount but he's about to move out and I don't think it'll be so easy to find another qualified tenant without losing a month's rent while looking.Before I bought the building, the tenants were all responsible for taking their own cans to the road and they were collectively responsible for keeping the area clean, but they didn't (and I didn't know they didn't.) 

The purpose of a landing page is to quickly and effectively convince a person who is genuinely considering selling their house at a discount to leave their contact details so your acquisition agent can reach out to them.Anything that hinders this process will ultimately LOSE you money.
