Post: Incentives & Gifts for Tenants

I was wondering what people used as incentives or gifts for their tenants. Do you give them anything to keep them happy, like new doorknobs, or fans or things like that?

What are the best incentives you've used??

I'd be interested, as I'm sure a bunch of others would. I think you would need to somehow prove to us you've got something worth investing in. Do you have a business plan? Might be a good start.

I hear about this guy from realtors. Say his scripts are great for working leads. Has anyone used the scripts for working investor leads?

You should have a lender in mind before going anywhere, otherwise you'll waste bot of your time. It is quick & easy to get a pre-qualification / pre-approval letter, and I would highly recommend getting one before moving on. Otherwise, what proof does the seller have that you can come up with any funds? There are alternate methods of financing, but it seems like a traditional lender would be able to help you on this one.

Seems like you'll be able to make some money on this one if you can nail it down. Nice find. How did you come about finding it?

Do you work exclusively in MS? This is a good place to network if you're looking to meet investors. :D

Is there much of a profit margin available for converting old hotels into condos? I was at a motel recently, and thought to myself how great it would be to turn this thing into a condo building.

Does anyone have experience with this? Does it happen often?

Not a bad idea Dan. Wouldn't the room get a bit crowded, though?

I was wondering how exactly co-ops work. I have a friend in NY looking at a co-op. He asked me questions, but I had no idea. Can anyone help here?
