Better yet... find something that is actually a good discount.

Instead of finding distressed properties with deep discounts I'm basically targeting any property I find and trying to negotiate an owner financing deal with the seller that I can turn around and sell to an investor after I get end buyers lined up, the only problem I'm having is getting investors in these properties to buy them.

You may get a lot at 100 k less than last year or more of a discount in a good sw inner city location.

I got a discounted tuition going through Keller Williams in hesperia.

People want a big discount for little problems, so you will have to sell it pretty below market for someone to take on the issues as well as the house.What specifically is wrong with the place?

I haven't dealt with it in a landlord/tenant situation, but from a couple of people I have known who accepted credit cards for their retail businesses, the credit card associations (Visa/Mastercard/Amex) "don't like it" if the business tries to charge the credit card fee to the customer, and can potentially stop accepting charges from that business if they do it.But, the card associations seem to be perfectly OK with the idea of a business advertising or giving a "cash discount". 

Appraisal: $125,00075% Cash Out Refi: $93,750So while the place is on the market right now, and will probably update and run it again at a slight discount.... 

Why not offer the owners cash for keys if they accept Call the foreclosing dept ask for amount to bring current .If you like the cost pay it    Then record the Deed in your name proceed to cure the first without disclosing title change   make a deal with the second a little discount would be in order.? 

I have looked at numerous SFH opportunities locally and have yet to find anything that offers the ROI I require to support the cash investment (especially considering the fact that I have to discount any depreciation or tax benefits). 

I like buying them at 90-95% face value and combining that with other discounts
