It is technically a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house with a large basement.

My name is Andy Taylor (don't say it) and I am a new wanna-be investor from the Houston area (Magnolia, actually, which is 40 or so miles north of Houston proper).I stumbled onto BiggerPockets.com after a late-night Half-Price Books run that saw me come home with an armload of discounted Rich Dad books while on a recent out-of-town trip.

Plans are:Replace flooring with tile throughout.Rehab bathrooms replace vanities and massive cleaning where needed we will try to salvage tile on icky shower.

Give him the "Cripple discount" and allow him to live there an extra month while you own the property.  

Having it all together gives a discount.  

Obviously discounting commission on a low priced property ($100,000 for example) isn't worthwhile for some agents because the return is minimal, but would you consider discounting your commission on a property priced around $500,000 or even a $1,000,000 knowing that you'd potentially be netting around $12,500 before other expenses (and let's say the commission was discounted from 3% to 2.5%)?

Tell me more.I've negotiated at Home Depot quite a bit, but it is always on items that are on discount for being bought and returned to the store.

If the investor doesn't buy it, it's just lost effort and money to me.Add in the fear that you will be asking for a discounted commission on the listing (almost always a bad idea) and the distrust that you'll buy the good deal and then FSBO it, lease option it or list it with someone else and very few are truly willing to work with flip investors.While it is true that most agents don't understand what an investor really needs in a deal, most "investors" don't ever really invest in a meaningful way. 

I have someone for you....recently did a bathroom rehab and i trust these guys  100%.Send me a PM if you are interested..
