@Dave Visaya@Paul Ewing@Shital Thakkar@Alfredo O.Just wanted to let everyone know that I am actively marketing to find discounted deals in Wichita Falls, TX to wholesale out so hit me up if your interested.ThanksRobert

I have not done this but maybe a way to capitalize on this is by purchasing "discounted notes" from the lenders on the distressed assets.

Savvy real estate investors that have good negotiating skills, combined with being at the right place at the right time, can buy properties or notes at significant discounts, especially in today’s real estate environment.

Discount brokerages are probably your best bet.

If list price isn't at deep discount, it may not be worth it.

Most of them pay for themselves with one rental and if you play well enough they give you discounts.

--many investors buy AS IS to get at discount price --and many Rehabbers like to fix themselves -- that leaves only half the buyers --other investors who want to rent out and hold it --then why not just wait few more weeks and sell to the end buyer ( Owner occupied) at higher price --of course less than retail, and make more money -- you have to make sure to get 15 % to 18 % return on your investment --- how much interest are you going to pay contractor --if you do not sell as soon as he finishes the work -- make sure to do the numbers --for interest , carrying costs and profit.

Remember we are trying to buy things at a discount. 

@Brandon Rodriguez, one cocktail napkin analysis would be to ask how likely you are to get a 12% ($35K) discount on an already good deal of a $300K property (or the appropriate % for whatever size property you are selling) if you take your time right now.  

PROPERTY TAX QUESTION: If I'm buying a home that has homestead exemption with two months left in the year as an investment property, do I get to benefit from the homestead discount for the 2 months that I'm paying for 2019?
