As mentioned above, you can get a par rate at no discount points, but you can also get above par and get the lender to credit you to cover closing costs.

Here are my four main goals:Goal 1: Buy and Hold in Developing Areas (Texas)I plan to invest in underdeveloped areas where I see growth potential, buying at a discount now and holding for long-term appreciation as development takes place.Goal 2: Wholesaling Discounted Homes (Texas)I’m also thinking of wholesaling properties in those same areas.

We would have been better off discounting the rent 7% and finding tenants that would respect our property and rent year after year.  

Also you can get your real estate license at a discount through Premier Point Realty or Homestead Realty. 

We decided to price our down months more aggressively and start our discounting 3+ months out.

And then looking for rental properties that you can buy for a discount and that cash flow too. 

So don't discount it at all.Don't be impulsive, be calculated.

Talk to my property manager about canceling the 2 bookings and offer the house to people that have been displaced and can pay thru FEMA assistance at a discounted rate.

In Madison, and I assume your market, we have always had discount broker options to basically just get your listing on the MLS and not much else as well as sellers just exposing it to the market themselves off the MLS and hoping to maybe pay no buyer agent commission, where the buyers have no agent they are working with or the buyer agrees to pay their agent directly. 

with my last tenants I tried posting rent "discounts" for length of lease.
