I used a 10% off coupon + paid in HD GCs which were purchased for 85% on the dollar on gift card reselling websites. 

We bought at a great time (2011-2013) and at prices that equated to a "2% to 3% rule." 10% was way too high and a couple of years later he brought it down to 7%. 10% was unsustainable and 7% made it more break even.I am sitting on a substantial equity position but I would not do this again.

Does anyone know of any GC's with an online presence that are regularly posting content to their website? 

I'd like to post some Informational or HOw-to videos on my web site regarding property management.

Might want to look at that ARV again and make sure you're in a good position on value. 

I am looking to hit the ground running in my new position by building relationships with you.

I presented offers to HML but naturally none will risk not being in 1st position.
