They are motivated to sell, but not motivated enough to sell for a discount that would make a wholesale possible.

I gave the guest a HUGE discount ($270).   

This past weekend his notifications he has setup told him about a dealership offering 2 new 2018 Mitsubishi Mirages heavily discounted at $6,395.

After having a local friend check out both properties, I'm ruling out the first one because there are plenty of similar properties that need less work, and the discount is not enough to take on the minor rehab required from the foreclosure as well as the headaches associated with the tenants there.

Believe it or not I've seen sellers take heavy discounts on their home purely based on the fact that they don't want to deal with showings and the whole listing ordeal.

you would have to discount the rent steeply from market to get a taker, and then the applicant's quality will be pretty low. 

For me its peace of mind...would you rather spend $550 now and know for sure and possibly get a discount or potentially spend thousands later to fix something you assumed was OK?  

Some associates in my office do not discount this amount, some do.

And the rates are definitely cheaper than if you went for the same coverage from say state farm, etc.I'm guessing that I'm getting a discount because of the number of properties I have and maybe there's some mitigation of risk with that?

Not sure what the pushback to a good deal was all about, but for anyone reading after this is the golden nugget I got from this:Get a contract at deep discount, based on solid area comps and calculate strike price.
