Also, argue that they received a discount because they were purchasing so many units at once.

Then I can discount my offer by the cost of those repairs and maybe also some upgrades.3.

@Bosko MijatovicQuick food for thought ... you may need to really go off market if you need that deep of a discount.

However, I notice that when I plug in the numbers the note BUYER ends up with some really high yields, even with no discount off the face value of the note.  

For businesses seeking legal assistance in obtaining a commercial real estate loan, I am offering discounted legal rates in disaster affected areas. 

It may not happen today or tomorrow but it will happen some day.I once had a tenant that worked at a restaurant and he offered to give me major discounts every time I ate there.

Obviously you'd need a steep discount to consider this without any photos or access. 

From what he told me, banks generally won't look at anything less than a 10% discount off whatever they are asking. 

If you buy a note/mortgage from someone else you would purchase the note at a discount which would allow you to collect the payments at a yield greater than the interest rate on the original note (since you buy at a discount you have less of your own money invested and get the higher rate).  

Just from using their vendor discounts I've saved way more than the cost of the membership itself.
