My youngest son was in the millitay so I was able to get a nice discount on materials.

" The guy I work with at the local retailer was more than happy to match Best Buy's price on that and they deliver quick " @Robert Taylor Fyi : American TV announce closing business down :(Supposedly they our having huge discount on purchasesover next few days.

I have donated or extremely discounted about 15 or so properties in the last 3 years.Instead of selling them to wholesalers I got the thrill of knowing these same assets would go to people who appreciate the deal HH gives them.

When you go from WEST Coast to Mid west or Deep south your not only changing asset but your changing PM issues to a huge degree.

Keep in mind thought that the vast majority of these people are not going to be interested in selling their properties at a steep discount.

If you get the kind of discounts Sharad is pulling off that's no problem.

If we discount future rents using discounted cash flow (DCF), shouldn't we also discount a deferred expense like roof replacement?

If your were a wealthy doctor whose money was making 1.5% and you could hook up with someone who could find the property, put the whole deal together and manage the partnership, get the rehab itself done at a big discount, and get it sold to where you make a very pretty profit...that's a pretty attractive offer.But again, this person really has to know what they are doing.

I can see some people do not want to buy a house that had “bad things” happen in it, which makes it more difficult to sell because of the smaller buying pool.Can anybody offer a reasonable discount?

If our market rent is $1500 for a unit, we write the lease for $1700 and there is a discount of $200 if you pay by the 4th.This way we almost never have late payment.
