Put up a 99-cent curtain rod and some cheap curtains from Goodwill or eBay (like $4) - multiple benefits:a) Cheaper than the $8 mini-blinds for every window.b) Makes the place look nicer and more of a home feel.c) When the tenant departs they can be washed and re-hung - no more throwing away damaged mini-blinds that wind up in a landfill. 

The hourly pay was good at the time with the stock upside.Flash forward today and as mentioned pretty much anyone good will not work at these places unless it is supplemental type income going through school or retired, temp gap until they land a contracting job again etc.  

Hard money lenders will look at your deal and if it's good, will provide such a letter since they would be willing to buy/finance the deal for you.But I would also not be looking for on market deals. 

Because, if Obama becomes a rubber stamp for the Reid/Pelosi crowd, all this good will is not going to last very long.

Shoot me a DM and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have Sounds good, will do River! 

After the notice period you can give it to Goodwill, sell it, or do whatever you want.

Some investors think this is what realtors should be doing to make 3% commission on a property that's used up 50% in good will, credibility and the realtors time.And lastly I do show my clients properties 10-20% over their price.

Since the FF&E (Furnishings fixtures and equipment) and good will cannot be exchanged they will owe tax on that allocation anyway. 

Hoping that some good will come from this experience and it helps someone in the future.

I thought it would be a gesture of goodwill and would help me get a set of eyes on the property on a regular basis.
