I was able to negotiate about 10% discount that was purely circumstantial, I'll let time do the appreciating passively instead of running a 6 months construction project with holding cost.

Nice try, but no cigar.3rd warning: only paid stays count, and only full-price stays, not discounted favors for friends and family.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

I personally wouldnt work with a discount broker on the list side as there is a decent amount of money that goes into presenting a good listing.

I've been doing a deep dive looking at cash on cash return for various down payments and expenses on properties with a mortgage.

I'm talking 50k-100k discount just because of where we live. 

Despite being nearly 60,000 SF of land, strict adherence to the zoning code would only allow 7 homes because the parcels lacked street frontage despite being very deep.

Next thing you know it's time for a short break and your free to go..lolThe bottom line is know what you are buying and look deep inside yourself to ask the hard questions: Will I not be able to eat or live if I buy this, will i do the hard work to make it work for me.

Plus funding is readily available and deals need to mature a few years before profits emerge, so why would a turn key provider not just keep a good rental property.Our inventory is so low in Milwaukee, that sellers don't have a reason to give a discount. 

Do they offer any discount on shipping costs?
