We approached the park owner and asked if we could get a discount if we paid an entire year up front.

If you join MAREI (MAREI.org), one of their benefits of membership is discounts/rebates at Home Depot and others.

You must be extremely diligent in your planning and execution of all phases of a FHA/BRRRR strategy.At a minimum you must buy properties at a good discount that allows you to force equity appreciation.  

There still are procedures and notifications that go through the court but you're on your own.Therefore if you market to probates and get a contract signed on an off-market deal for a big discount you definitely can wholesale it.

I just took a house bought >10 years ago figured out the payoff amount based on original sale price/mortgage paydown (assuming 97% FHA loan) and a rough discount of condition after a drive by for a nearby house.  

You get access to people not willing to just sell their house at a discount(wholesaling) but also can earn commission from regular sellers which you can test different marketing strategies on.The school I am looking to for my license is chamberlain.

Because I got these properties at such a good discount (the 9 pack was being bought for $350,000, but was worth about $600,000 after rehab...so about 70% LTV) my lender was comfortable lending this buyer the money. 

Also, assuming you are properly pricing it, anyone trying to do a private sale without an agent is most likely going to try to get you at a discount knowing you don't have it listed with an agent.It's free to interview agents, so you should speak with 2 or 3 and make sure you're maximizing your return.

Not sure what kind of rents you get on the property or what the taxes are, but you might still be able to get some pretty good cashflow (and $100k in cash) by refinancing hereIf you are looking to sell, you might need to sell the property at a discount since there is some significant foundational work that needs to be done on the property.

And with that said I've built my own real estate team, source my own deals at deep discounts.
