My error with the taxes, I believe it is that much now as a senior citizen discount.  

I have remodeled everything in the house (windows, doors, bathrooms, kitchen, floors, plumbing, electrical, hvac, siding, landscaping) and turned it into an open concept What was the outcome?

A 5% discount(which is a pretty big discount) would change your agents commission by less than $100.

The house had great bones but an odd floor plan, 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, 2 living areas and no laundry room.

.* Has an 8' x 4' only communal bathroom (probably unpermitted) in the kitchen.

I feel like this is a good way to buy property at a discount as these areas are very hot right now (Let me know your thoughts).

You can rent for anywhere from $1000/mo up to $1600/mo depending on the square footage, bedroom/bathroom, attached vs semi-detached, level of finishes and whether or not you rent to Section 8 tenants.

Now that I'm in the house, I'm repairing and remodeling the kitchen, bathrooms, paint jobs, etc.

Market to your real estate customers, "Every real estate customer gets a free tax consultation" or "15% discount on taxes".

If you don't mind me asking, you mentioned not doing many flips, if you had the opportunity to purchase this home at about a 30k discount as is or finishing some projects the current home owner started forcing equity and potentially selling at an arv of 450k-470k would you personally consider this deal and if so, how would you take it on?
