@Ben Leary If you could house hack a property for the time you have remaining in New Hampshire you can potentially live for free or at a discount which will allow you to spend your extra money on other things like school, books, other living expenses, etc.

I offered to buy the building at a discount if the owner would hold the mortgage for 2 years and replaced the boiler as the downpayment.

I have close to 200 doors now and I don't get any special discounts from vendors so let me know if you find some that do...The market for good contractors seems tighter than the market for good rentals here now :) I will say that the guys I have used for years that are really good always treat me fairly, move me up on their priority list and sometimes throw in extra work to help me out. 

With your SFR experience, you would know how to pick good opportunities and operators.Selling or exchanging 20 SFRs for a single property is impractical...would likely have to involve a portion of the portfolio (or a discount to a single buyer).Many investors would consider having a 3rd party PM handling 20 SFRs to be a limited amount of work on your part.

We do not offer a discount since it is required.

With AMFAM the inital rates are $200 less than state farm - but they have a welcome discount now and I guess I would lose it next year and the rates would go high. 

That is each, although I would expect a discount from a contractor that did both at once.

Discount on labor for doing everything in one install (savings of $400)Cons: More expensive up front cost.Removing kitchen/dining floor before the end of its useful life.I prefer uniform floors in an open space, so I'm leaning towards Option 2, but I don't know if that's a wise business move. 

So, since I just want out, my thought was that someone might want to buy my interest at a discount and they would just hold it until she dies.

Finally what percentage or discount are you seeking on the CMV or "as-is" value for your first rental?
