You can almost always get the purchase price at a 10% discount (or more) providing instant equity above your rehabbing.  

You have to acknowledge FHA is for purchasing homes to be lived in, with no surprises typically that strap the new homeowner right off the bat or within the first 2 years of occupancy.The cost of this, also means you are usually not getting these home at any real discount because "the home must meet minimum standards.The alternative is searching for and purchasing a home using an FHA 203k loan, that must be worked on, that does not require the seller to make modifications prior to sale, and often are homes over looked by many other buyers.

He's open to lease-optioning the property as well as selling at a 10% discount.

Rent 'discounts' for paying by the 5th, written guarantees of no further rent increases for a year  after an increase even if they are mtm.  

Not many cash buyers or people willing to sell at a discount.

My wife never mentions this, but deep down I know she'd like to have a house or at least a bit more space...

Economists estimate we are over 5 million housing units behind the demand.That said, remember that a lack of discounts indicates a lack of seller motivation.

Either the seller isn't motivated enough to sell to you at a discount and is willing to list to get more even if it means an unknown price and everything that goes along with selling through listing.

After that time, they decided to reject me because of my temporal work visa immigration status.But, the story didn't end there; As always, I continued saving even though there was no way I was able to pay for the asking price; but because they lost so much time deciding on the loan; they took the house back to the market on a high discount price; which matched my savings; allowed me to buy the property free and clear :)Now, back to getting the money for your purchase; my recommendations are to to look for local credit unions (GECU at El Paso) and small mortgage banks (Rocky Mountain Mortgage Company at El Paso).

Hi,People come to your place or on call they want everything without spending any money .They don't want to listen what you are telling them they want what you can do for them like any discounts or special offers or something which saves their money while purchasing home.so take your call like your best and put all the efforts think you are the best and you can do that easily in no time.
