You could also ask for a modification (discount) to close without the Lease copy. 

Im not seeing short sales sell at discounts to market values any more.

As always, you have to buy right, at deep discounts, and don't expect to get the full bang for your buck if you upgrade very much.

I do tend to seek deals with higher perceived risk as they can yield a discounted price and higher returns.  

What is a reasonable discount to expect when paying a contractor in cash at their request?  

I am a local wholesaler in the area, and am able to get homes at a significant discount.

If there's a secret to this happy circumstance it is in the "best practices" part of the deal.Too often investors and landlords discount their expectations--and their delivery of quality and services--by virtue of the war zone label.

what is the best way to determine what a commercial property will be worth after rehab or how much the property is discounted, such as previous selling prices.

And I can understand the fact that they see us as equals in the partnership, as do I, but I don't think that I should discount what I bring to the table as a realtor as well.
