We've partnered together on many projects, been a part of mastermind groups together, and our families have been out to dinner together.

Leave well enough alone, and take your significant other out for a great dinner to celebrate once you close.Regarding the timing to have them sign.. some of these asset managers at FNMA have hundreds of listings, and they have not been very quick in my experience.

May I buy you lunch, dinner, or whatever you want. 

That absolutely means letting the grandkids spend the night, having a friend from Houston stay the weekend, if they are an accountant and take work home they have the right to do so.Do you really expect a tenant to obtain written consent to allow the couple from across town to come in for dinner or let the guys watch a ball game?

That's $150.00 and most families with freezers keep more than that on hand. ok, let's be honest here. most people just have one fridge. either a side by side or a top freezer. i'd like to have a separate freezer just for meat (like a whole cow butchered), but that's just a dream of mine, not happening.those normal freezers do not have a lot of storage space. 99% of people eat crap food which includes hot pockets, pizzas, waffles, not to mention disgusting frozen dinners that are purchased by people that just want to stuff their faces with something. after all, bad food is cheap and people just want to eat cheap. i understand that.because of the above, most people do NOT have the space to put that much meat in the freezer because meat does not stack as well as pizza boxes. that's my whole point. unless there is an extra freezer or you cook often (not just heat a bagel in the toaster), you dont have that much meat.oh, and btw, fridges and freezers are designed to keep cool for a long time if the power goes out. some people think that meat starts to rot as you open the fridge door.

I think I'm a little lucky on this multi-turn, given my handyman has the unit for the new tenant, so worse comes to worse, I could use one of my free night certificates for a hotel to put him and his roommate up, and buy them a nice dinner, and still be way ahead on the $2,500 without doing my "Zero Vacancy" operation.

@Mike D'Arrigo - good one I would definitely have your listing agent call up those 80 people that came through to follow up on what they thought of the listing to probe through and see why their buyer's motivations were so you can adjust accordingly.It may not be price related or it may be but you'll never know till you get the correct feedback.If your listing agent took note of the traffic that came through he/she should have a list of 70-100% of these crowds that came to your open house.When working with my realtors I usually use "openhome," application to take information from the crowds coming through the open house and incentivize them by offering a freebie like movie tickets and dinner or etc.Hope that helps!

Just treat it as a rental on your taxes, the IRS and your underwriter are probably not family discussing you over dinner.

The last video I saw before going to dinner with my friend, was about an investor on here, who had helped his best friend, buy and rent out, his first house.I thought I'd run the deal by my retired friend, since we were going to dinner.

Lee - I owe you dinner for your post, maybe more.
