Another aspect to the relationship is that my partner is my brother.So, I want to be completely fair in regards to an equitable return of his capital, but also not discount the work involved in all that I am responsible for. 

Most  sent up ACH to my account, I raised their rent and gave a discount to make up for the fact that some of their banks charged (this is at lease turnover).

Won't be any discount from Fannie, just accruing taxes, insurance, interest, etc.

(oh - also I'll be giving a demonstration tonight in the Webinar, along with a discount for Pro. http://www.biggerpockets.com/webinar ) 

Overall, the service is pretty good for finding decently discounted properties and would probably be best for someone looking to scoop up rentals.  

They want a discount/bargain and there is no flexibility on the time frame.  

If you are putting in the time, resources and effort to properly market the deal then you should get paid for your work (although maybe at a discount to partnership or w.e you agree upon). 

I always get a discount when I represent myself as a buyer.

Also, you can buy RE at a discount and improve the value of RE... can't do that with general stock.

Thanks - my wife is a realtor and gets a discount on property management from her agency so we will use them.
