Has anyone successfully pushed through an all cash offer with a sizable discount? What was your discount off asking price (or off your first semi-cash offer)? 
TIA!

Kaylee, you can always use quick turnaround Mezz financing and pretend it is cash, and just refi post close. Be sure that you can re fin post close though.

I was able to get a ~15% discount by offering all cash with a 4-week timeline to close. The seller was willing to take my offer over higher offers because no SBA loan was involved, which reduced the sellers closing risk.
