I understand the note would be discounted but without seasoning I'm curious of the amount because of new construction.

you get a commish most of the time when you buy or you can discount the price by what the seller would normally pay a buy side commish.and then you list them yourself.. having been on the money end of this  the actual flipper end and a broker.. many times in flips that are flopping or wobbling.. the commish saves the day.. so being able to list your own in my mind is critical.. and profitable.and then you never know when someone will really excell at sales.. it is a sales position after all. 

I also have plans to connect with the local community so that I can offer guests discounts to local independent shops and restaurants etc. which will be beneficial for all. 

How much of a discount will you give me if I sign for 5 years ? 

Or maybe you are a flooring expert and can install flooring at a discount in exchange for shadowing him on a few transactions to learn the ropes.

My initial thought was to give a one time rent discount for the tenants who tried this payment method out.

I purchased the property at a discount due to the 3.5+ years left on the lease and considered waiting things out but the story just doesn't line up... 

This might prevent you from buying really distressed stuff... but you don't have to buy distressed to buy at a discount ya kno ;)

I would need a large discount off the 30 year fixed for the additional risk of an adjustable rate.

Retail customers are typically scared by the foundation repairs as they are very costly, but I have a couple of big investors who salivate every time they see a foundation problem - it is fixable 99% of the time, and that also means a big discount, since the seller knows how it affects the sale and has no choice but to reduce the price.
