Do they pay higher premiums and aren't able to leverage multiple property discounts?

Not sure if the discounted purchase price is enough to make up for lessor rental rates but my firsthand knowledge up there is two years old at this point so you might want to confirm with your own due diligence.

Shopping.google.com can be your friend if you are not able to get corp. discounts yet.Vision:Many have asked me how I picked some of the crappiest buildings and know that they'd turn out to be rockstars. 

If you are buying in bulk, a smaller office may give you a discount.  

We were quoted 4% for a 30 years fixed with no discount points or origination fees.

If it is vacant from the bank I would make sure it is heavily discounted based on the value of the home.

@Ryan Wyke Depends if you can discount the property.

- how much capital do you have on the sideline to cover temporary losses- how much equity do you have and can you sell assets at a steep discount and still cash out- how much unused credit lines do you have to tide you over until you can sell assetsThe result of this exercise is that you will get a feel for your resilience to weather an economic storm.

Would appreciate any input on this as I saw a few fire damaged multi family properties that were selling at a deep discount (~37% of ARV) which piqued my interest. 

I’m sure that over time experience tells you what to look for that are relatively quick and not costly ie front yard landscaping, exterior or interior paint, new appliances, etc vs big tickets like new roof etc - but again sure it depends on just how discounted property is as to what size of fix-up you’d consider.
