QUOTE(mini orchard @ Oct 30 2020, 06:06 PM) Ya ...plus monthly free massage, free maid, free utilities and whatever free no need to be sarcastic. Can see that u never dealt with such offers before. Yes, if owner can offer good discount and tenant have cash in hand, no prob. But if owner not in rush of course he will not offer such discounts. I personally got that when paid upfront one year cash and seems owner needed cash. Easy.

QUOTE(mini orchard @ Oct 30 2020, 06:45 PM) Why would a landlord rent for 50 % discount and take the risk outcome of the property condition after tenancy ends ? The 50% can goes towards repair .... so is 0 rental. Better to leave vacant. Landlord collect only 11 months after deducting agent fees. Nett effect is even less than 50% ? If say another 10% off, its reasonable. 30 to 50 .... money grow on tree ? Ok maybe I mention too much numbers previously  but anywhere from 5% to 30% is possible and I personally managed to get down price from 2300rm to 1800rm paying for 1 year up front. By the way, I paid for the whole year, but lived there only few months before moved out.

That time my ex paid so I didn't benefit or lose. But im agree with u that its quite risky. Yet if u have cash money and u kinda confident u can pay in advance if deal looks good. Just IMO.
