Finding off market properties at a discount, fixing them up to add value/equity to them and then flipping them via 1031 and move to the next one.

Since from this viewpoint money is coming into 1 pot & coming out of that same pot to pay for your housing expenses, there's no discount on the household housing expenses.

We discounted the rental rate because they only wanted to rent part of the home.

Then figure out how much of a discount you deserve for buying 12 at a time, 10-20%?  

I'm grandfathered in to the lower pricing of the past (was originally like $850 for their top plan, and I had 36k a month plan) - and they allowed me to add an additional market (which adds additional 36k a month) for a discounted rate.

There are people who will go out and find anything that they can to get a free/discounted stay.

This is what i have for closing costs. i think the only thing i can actually save on is the "discount fee".

he wants to sell, and willing to sell his part in a discount

low cashflow high appreciationNotes purchased in the secondary market at discount to remaining principal balance have the built in capital gain profit with potential for greater ROI thru early payoff or early PARTIAL paydown.  

Additional contingencies should be added to the budget and discounted valuations should be applied in such scenarios.
