Quote from @Melissa Thompson: Quote from @Diego Izarra: They have approached me. 

In most states, foreclosures can be very risky:1) They are often occupied and you can't approach the occupants to see the interior.

You’re the insider who can ring someone up, say you’ve got a contract on a property ripe for a cosmetic upgrade, and watch them perk up.I’d say give it a whirl, see how it feels, and don’t hesitate to tweak your approach as you learn.

Aloha, In a market where the sale-to-list price is 97.9%, homes sold above list price is 18.7%, and homes with price drops is 51.4%, I’m exploring how to respectfully submit an offer with a 30% to 50% discount on the listing price.Beside from the following actions, are there any additional steps I can take to ensure my approach is considerate to both the seller and my agent?

If investors attempt to streamline their services, it can lead to a more organized approach to property management, lowers the risk of gaps in insurance coverage or missed tax benefits as well as simplifies communication and reduces confusion.

I agree with the per unit approach as well.

I love the systematic approach you are taking with your real estate investors. 

If you find a property that you like, approach the listing agent and have them represent you, but ask them for a referral fee.

What was your approach?

Approached the seller asking they pay all closing costs, received enough credits to buy down the interest rate back into the 5-range (current rates were in the 7-range).
