For example, you can't give a holiday gift to only who you think are good tenants because one of them would post "Thanks Sam for the $25 AMC movies GC my boy friend and I saw Avengers last night xoxo" then your other tenants who didn't get a GC will feel left out.I visit my properties once a month for regular maintenance, mostly for little stuff, like changing AC filters, test smoke alarm batteries, test GFCI receptacles, pour bleach down AC condensate drain lines, exercise water supply stop valves, feel under any drains to check leakage, test water heater T&P valves, etc etc etc...they do not need to be done monthly but that's what I do at each property. 

It is pretty safe, those people are known in their communities, but you should exercise street smarts.

I’m certain that through careful planning, market selection, understanding of the intended market as well as it's economic foundation, a solid strategy to include multiple exit strategies, acquiring a great deal, implementing and exercising effective business systems, working with mentors and other investors I’ll be successful.
