A lot of people bought the Vegas deal because after announcing the 3 packages, you have a one on one with one of the mentors, you can negotiate the deal and they reduce the prize drastically.

If the home were heated with heating oil or propane , when prices spiked this winter , would you have reduced the rent?

I pay $5 each discounted in bulk.

I am looking at a potential REO in Indianapolis that has been reduced to a very low price because of an order to repair list.

. , I may just have to pass up on the bulk of the profits till I find financing.

I will prepay the note during good years to reduce principal drastically.)How do you guys feel about the deal in general?

I'm doing an assignment for 399k given the dimensions of the SFR, the size of the lot and the property values in the area there are very limited comps, current ARV is 500k+ it needs 10 to 15k for a basic cosmetic rehab, however the updated properties around the area have sold for 700+ so the potential for profit is there...ISSUE: I've reduced the original price and a few investors have gone by but the main thing that comes up is the exposure to a popular street (for the locals, It's on the corner of Shea Blvd and 61st St).

if you can rent it and hold it for a year you will substantially reduce your tax liability on the property.

A recently trending thread started by @Brandon Turner discussed accepting section 8 from an existing tenant but having to accept a reduced rate as a consequence. 

If you feel you can handle it alone, you don't need to negotiate the reduced commission up front.
