I missed the boat on house hacking, and a lot of the inventory in the Chicago suburbs was incredibly discounted during and right after the housing crash.

With auction homes, I can buy at a deep discount.

Texas does not have double property tax for landlords/investors.Texas provides an exemption and a yearly cap for owner occupants(Homestead) that provides a small discount on property taxes and a 10% yearly cap on the rise of the appraised value

Offer the tenant to stay and get a discount of $50 @ $850 for one year.

*I would have to pay all cash to get a discount from a seller typically, where as the bank may allow otherwise.

We can't sell it as an NPN and we'd take a discount because of the late payments.

Have a homeowner insurance broker who is quoting us for our flips and rentals and he's giving good rates; better than what we have currently.My fear is he is able to maneuver the rates so they look like a good discount now then when we get new properties the savings will quickly dwindle. 

Any bulk discounts you could hope to achieve are outweighed simply by having the word "Commerical" in the policy.  

You might want to look into strategies to add value to properties and buy at a steeper discount so you can refinance. 

You need to buy at a discount and you need to buy something that will cash flow, not all houses will work.
