Discount agents come with different levels of service and you can  figure out what level you need.

I'm particularly interested in purchasing two-bedroom, one-bath (minimum) properties that offer space and potential for adding an extra bedroom and bathroom.

A half bathroom in this area adds ~$50k of value.  

PLUMBING FIXTURESThe bathrooms, toilets and kitchen plumbing fixtures shall only be used for the purpose for which theywere designed or built; sweepings. rubbish bags. acids. sanitary napkins, baby wipes, paper towels.should all be disposed of in regular waste receptacles.

We added a mini split system, new floors throughout, rebuilt the deck, added windows, repaired waste lines, roof, siding, stucco, cleaned up the basement and remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms.

This fully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features high ceilings, modern finishes, and a downstairs bedroom for convenience.

Purchase price: $400,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Bought this fixer upper 2 family house with 2 bed 2 bath and converted it to a 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom with finished basement.

Just like you I have been thinking into mentorship programs and I have gone to Multifamily Mindset ($40K), Apartment Educators ($20K) which is based in Texas, and now I am looking into RE Mentor (mentor of co-founder of Multifamily Mindset) and it's a 3 day seminar for $1500 (but they end up giving you a *one time discount* if you sign up during the free 2 hour event for $995 but it is possible to sign up for their mentorship program through their website if you can't go to their free event).

Obviously the tenant hope of bringing in more occupants (and sharing more common area space/bathrooms as a sacrifice) would be to lower the rental cost per person.  

Some water companies will reduce the bill if it is due to a leak, but the fact that the tenant waited three billing cycles to say anything means they may not get much of a discount.
