Does your handyman give you a specific wheelchair damage discount?

People typically don’t pay full price for the credits, you would buy at a discount to the face value.

My other landlord friends either find a reliable tenant and give them a small discount on rent or find a handy man to take care of their properties.  

You can probably reach a middle-ground where you give him a slight discount on the purchase price, but he waives his commissions.example: (these are fake numbers and oversimplified)- Let's say your condo is worth 100k- Let's say your realtor usually gets 5% commission when he represents you- He would make a "potential" $5,000 in commission if you were to sell the condo to someone else (5% of 100k)- You would be left with $95k after the sale.INSTEAD, DO THIS....- Sell your realtor the property for $97,000. (3k discount)- Get him to waive the commission, so $0.- You will be left with the full $97k after the sale. (2k more than if you sold to someone else)- It's a win/win if you are both happy with the transaction.Hope that helps?

Knowledgeable investors can buy properties at steep discounts while keeping vacancy low by staying on top of management.

He also has his own property management company.The agent recommended me this property which he was managing for the previous owner.Since the price was fair market and my agent was dual agent for this property, didn't ask for discount on selling price.No major issues after inspection, and seller accepted repair requests for minor stuff.

On a side note has anyone seen good sized discounts on home insurance due to a security system? 

(Being a 1031 you must keep at least 5 years to get any discount for living there.) if you’re at exactly 2 of 5 then 40% of the gains would be tax free as your primary. 4) that is a horribly bad area if you’ve had 0% appreciation in 5 years, I don’t/didn’t think such a market existed in America.

Technically if you purchase a non-performing note at a substantial discount to the upb then part of your principal income could be considered taxable gain.

Wholesalers go for deep discounts to the point of it is boderline exploitation, agents have a fiduciary duty to get the highest and best for their client.
