I currently work in the San Jose, CA metro area but grew up in Arizona, and lately I’ve been looking more seriously at wholesale and investment opportunities back home in AZ.I’ve noticed that some of the best deals I come across seem to come from foreclosure auctions — a lot of them look extremely discounted compared to nearby comps and even show things like “Likely to sell faster than 97% of nearby homes” on Zillow.That said, I’m aware there are some real risks — many of these auction listings are occupied, and some don’t allow interior inspections or tours, which makes due diligence tricky.Since I don’t currently have any auction experts in my network, I’d love to hear from investors who have bought at auction before.

Something I discovered recently is; if you have a QBO Accountant start your company and allow the Accountant to get billed, you will get a 30% discount even after one year, but if you create your QBO without a QBO Accountant you disqualify yourself from their Accountant discount. 

I'm curious to hear how others in this space are valuing and exiting notes.A few discussion questions:What metrics do you weigh most heavily (LTV, payment history, discount rate, etc.)?

answers on an internet forum are not something you'll be able to rely on if something goes sideways.2. that's a tremendous amount of cash to put down. 

You best bet is try to find local wholesalers in the city that you choose to buy in so you can just purchase discounted properties. good luck in your journey. 

I get a security discount on my insurance from my ring cameras that alert on motion.

For that reason alone, I would have to get a mid reno house at a major discount. 

Foreclosures/Probate /Distressed (Buying properties at a discount below market)9.

There is a fixed amount of work and required attention for every property that doesn't decrease as you add more units, so aside from maybe some vendor consolidation and bulk supply discounts there isn't much in the way of Economies of Scale. 

So I am going to give you Y as a discount.
