The police tried as well but he was stubborn and rejected any form of communication (and negotiation).The police came really prepared and 4 officers showed up on time.

Permitting costs can be reduced for facilities with multiple buildings ongoing as they can negotiate discounts and use a third party to permit that is certified by the state.Now, you do need to transport the home, but here distance is a factor, sure if you are going to ship 100's of miles this can add up but in general there is a service area for delivery at nominal cost.Those designs over 1 story will cost more as you need to rent a crane but that is another area you can manage cost.In the end I am pushing back against a blanket statement that "modulars cost as much and are built to poor quality" because frankly that is wrong.

This allows you to negotiate well below the asking price (which is already cheap.) 

I wish you the best of success in this space and hope you crush it.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The crime isn’t so bad that you can’t invest successfully given it’s still mostly high in certain zip codes. 

I am curious though how successful the people that use these automated services are at getting good deals or are the services themselves the only ones really profiting from this annoyance.  

I have a lot of friends who invest / flip / build etc and I have done it once with success.

My answer is, right or wrong, I put lying about "other offers" as just fair game negotiations that don't really reflect on a person's honesty.  

Would have to agree with the percentages already listed on this site for phone number success.
