@Cody Barrett, another possibility for this is if the shingles are not all from the same "batch" some roofing companies and suppliers will offer a discount if they have small amounts of shingles left form different batches, it is technically the same color but when they are made at different times sometimes the color could be slightly different. 

I'm hungry for real estate at a deep discount and I need your help to find them.If I CLOSE on a deal you refer to me, you stand to make a substantial "finders fee."

The did count retirement accounts but at a 40% discount.

What are the best websites to find discounted deals?

Maybe some Pyongyang real estate will be at a deep discount if you can deal with residual radiation.

I just don't want to get into a deal where it only makes sense if I'm the one personally doing the labor for the rehab because we're discounting labor costs.As an example, let's say the place is selling for 425k, and would rent for 4500/mo, but needs improvements totaling 60k, making it a 485k house, for 4500/mo rent.

I am going to run some numbers here based on a two year stay, and let me know if I am missing anything or should consider anything else in this decision.Rent Apt: $600 total, including rent and utilities (this is about a 50% discounted rent for the area, thanks to my generous dad). $600 x 24 months = $14,400.

Hi folks --The cheapskate that I am, I'm always trying to buy things at a discount.

But, it seems you're doing the discount flat fee routine.  

Is it counter productive to offer to buy houses at a steep discount if you are a realtor?
