How do you discount your commission when your the buyers agent for immediate family?

I think it would be a nice way to help those on the front lines during this pandemic but can it be seen as discrimination if i advertise a 5% discount to nurses/first responders?

An option fee consideration for the option to buy.Yes they need to save up for the down payment ON TOP of the option fee.I would DISCOUNT the sales price by the amount of the option consideration, eg  sales price $564,000.

They get a discounted rent for their work.

Each property was purchased at a discount, I helped (or am still helping) them line up funding that allowed them to take cash out of the refinance without needing to wait the 6-12 month seasoning period.

Hey everyone thank you this is Angelo Christian and yes  these loans are very straight forward asset based lending is still alive and well.

You want your agent to test the waters gently with the COVID discount and see if the seller is ready to do something.

ACH transfer straight into their bank account.

There is no way I would risk taking on debt & invest cash into the RE market right now given all the uncertainty (and difficulty liquidating), especially when there don't seem to be any sizable discounts. 

Keep your head on straight, stay calm, treat others as you want to be treated and remember it is a business so you have to take care of your business.
