The direct mail list requires maintenance every time a letter is returned so you can save money on the next mailing.Almost every property I purchased for discounted prices was found by visiting real estate brokers' offices, telling them what I am looking for and every once in a while I hit a jackpot.The next most-simple method was purchasing at live foreclosure auctions, but you need to be super careful to make sure you are getting a clear title.I purchased a few properties from brokers who didn't know poop from Shinola like a $1.4 million 14-unit apartment building for $825,000.

They also host events throughout the month and provide perks to members including discounts for purchases at local businesses, on-site learning experiences (L.O.T.S), happy hours, etc.Also, @Luke Neubauer and I host a free monthly meetup at the Manhattan Project on Frankfort ave.

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.
