Our local REIA membership comes with a Home Depot discount so right now I am leaning that way.

Agreeing on a discounted rent amount as long as it's paid by a certain date is a great idea.I already have a lot of Section 8 tenants and tenants who are in steady employment but working on repairing their credit, leaving a bad situation, etc.

Once this has passed, there will be those that HAVE TO sell, and will sell at a discount for a quick sale.

I'm not stupid, I know you get a sizable discount on everything at the home improvement stores.

He charges 6k for 6 months but offers a discounted rate of 3k. 

I work for a bank doing SBA lending, and these loans come straight from the SBA and keep changing, so there’s unfortunately only so much I can say for certain.Best of luck!

I will not be forgiving rent or debt, or giving any discounts.

I didn’t even bother with SFRs, I went straight to apartments.

I don't want to acquire these properties at a discount.

It's often a double close -- negotiate a big discount short sale with the bank, and then either keep the property or sell it to another investor (could be considered a sub-type of wholesaling).However, since the REIA meeting, I've also read a lot of discussions online about banks trying to prevent this more in the past 10 years.
