And yes, buydown is a local thing.The state sold back the area between lot and lake to whoever wants it at a discount.

My breakdown is:Hardware/Fixtures/Materials - Lowe's - Create a custom list of items of you want discounts on and ask them for pricing.

If you get the chance to post a profile pic, it will help you connect with more people.Also, be sure to write down your "why" before you get in too deep.

I am wondering if people like us have had success building an out of state team on their own, focused on purchasing "rent ready" or "close to rent ready" properties at slight discounts.

The Heatizon system I saw went about surface deep into existing concrete and then sealed.

Now have fun and do your own tile backsplash, with discounted discontinued tile from hd or lowes for 4/sf.

(cause it's not) Be upfront and tell sellers that you are an investor and you require a discount and will be making money on the deal.

@Paul Janerico When Brandon uses the term "forced appreciation" he is talking about a forced increase in value of the property caused by your (the investor) buying at a discount (20% less than the value) and/or adding value to the property through improvements.

If the place was close to a deal at list there would be a lot of competition and thus again hard to wholesale at a reasonable price.Best luck with MLS is old stuff where they might take a discount.

Then they found the root of the problem: A broken pipe 5 foot deep under the drive way!
