Kind of like buying a note at a discount, you could offer him say $20K. 

Underwrite your investment to the IRR and discount both rents and equity to accommodate this possibility. 

Meaning the better the discount you provide to the end investor, the more you can earn for yourself. 

Call me crazy but that sounds like an 80% discount. 

Colonial Marble & Granite in King of Prussia or Tropical Stone in Malvern (just discovered them last week) for counters.As for tile and flooring, I almost always go with Lowe's, as you can stack discounted gift cards and 10% off coupons that you can buy online.Welcome back to PA!

If you are really looking at purchasing under market, off market, distressed properties and pre foreclosures you might look into buying discounted non performing notes.

What you're doing by wholelsaling is relieving the property owner of his problem property quickly and at a price agreeable, finding the property for an investor at a discounted price, and making a profit.There's nothing wrong with that. 

I have no idea how to go about finding a broker that will discount the fees since I have zero interest in actually selling or listing homes.

This strategy allows you to live at a discount (while renters pay your mortgage for you) as you learn how to be a landlord.

If you have a house in "perfect comdition", what exactly do you think would motivate the owner to sell at a 30%+ discount?
