What's the deepest discount you received on a short sale?

Depending on the price point, discount and rehab time this can make a difference of one or two thousand dollars in property taxes paid.For what it's worth, I haven't done a lot of rehabs but the ones I have done the assessor initially puts it at ARV (roughly) which is somewhat higher than the purchase price.

One of the best ideas I've collected when it comes to lawn care is for you to recruit your neighbors, hire a landscaping company, and work a group discount + management fee so that you're properties are maintained at no cost to you.

They will loan on the merrits of the property at lower loan to values, almsot ignoring the borrower, what they are doing is lending with more of an expectation of taking the property, more so than a conventional lender, basically buying the property at a discount.

And don't discount people that need to move ASAP.

You'd have to sell it to a note broker for a steep discount to get the rest of your cash earlier.* You have to foreclose to get them out of there if they default (3-6 mths, or more, with no payments and maybe a trashed house), so you better screen them closely.

Let's assume for a minute that there are comps, that makes valuing easier, use those taking a significant discount to account for your buyer having to get rid of a bunch of poorly trained tenants.If it's rent based that will be more difficult. it might be worth 100K performing but someone has to get it there so they rightfully are going to need to be compensated for that effort.One thing that may sweeten the deal for a buyer to be willing to pay a little more, is see if he would offer owner financing.

Since his company is the effective GC Jon should get the normal GC override at a reasonable discount, since its to his advantage, say 10%.

In the past I have gotten Fannie properties for as little as 50% of the list price (always highly distressed and always with tarps on the roof for that discount).

They offered me a discount down to .08 a lead forever.
