Good Evening BiggerPockets,I found a property that I think I can buy at a deep discount with cash.

I would accept it and have the 6 month paid up front that is non refundable to be included on the closing as a discount or credit to you . 

In addition to the experience of property management you might be able to negotiate a discount on rent as well. 

Either a very sought after price of land, a significant discount, very attractive owner finance or participation or all of the entitlements in place so the project shovel ready.

Some lenders may not offer a discount.

I usually estimate 3% for closing costs in the area plus prepaids.You will also find that lenders will often slightly over estimate costs, then they will drop on the final, because if they underestimate they can be in for some doo doo.Also theres going to be some variance here based on lender fees, first time home huyer recordation tax discount, whether or not you buy owners title insurance, if its in an hoa...hoa transfer fee.

We landed a deal that we look at as subsidizing our personal residence (discounted purchase price versus a similar sized SFR as the unit were occupying).

We all know that wholesale only means discounted property.

I think the issue is that it's AT fair market value and not wholesale or steeply discounted.

I do like the idea of working with them for a series of reasons (scale, financing, discounts etc)
