What do you want Mr. Notebuyer?

I'm going to sell a condo down in Palm Desert California that I fully remodeled. I want to sell it with owner financing to facilitate a fast sale (lot of inventory in the desert and market time is VERY slow). Asking price will be around 300k (which is at or a bit above the FMV). Then I want to sell the note. Before doing so I'd like to know exactly what notebuyers are looking for so that I know how to structure the note.
This is what I'm considering: 20% down, carry the paper on 240k; 6% interest; principle/interest loan; 8 year term/amortized for 30 years with balloon payment at the end; 2 year prepayment penalty; will season note for 6 months.

Is this desireable? Acceptable? If not, please give me your feedback so that I can create the optimum note to facilitate a quick sale.

Also would a note like this be bought at par or is a discount expected? If discount expected what would be the approximate discount required?

Thank you in advance.

Alfred
