I believe the properties I'm buying are at a significant discount from market value.

My follow up question to you:  Does your answer change if the property is bought at a discount (i.e. 80% of value) or if there is definite potential to add value decreasing the total LTV around the standard 80%? 

She will be giving me a huge discount on her services since she already does it as part of her RE business. 

Its too easy to work with a reputable home buying company like ours or others that offer properties at a discount to retail.

I much prefer buying rentals at a discount and renting them out.  

I think buying an REO at a wholesale discount can be profitable if you can get a local RE agent to make a live visit and report condition and provide resale CMA.

I had a little vision of where I took a loan from B-of-A and bought it for a discount.

I just don't play games, and when a seller is offering a 33% discount of what he wanted, he won't either.

That's good for a 15-20 discount off of asking price, with no effort or money expended on things like direct mail or vetting stuff from wholesalers.
