We bought a HUD foreclosure what was in really good shape: 2,000 sf plus finished basement, 3/2.5 with a bonus room for $80,000.

Then there are full time agents, who have salaries, benefits, and bonuses per transactions.If you're flipping, I think that the associate agent position is what you're looking for (can't take on the full-time expecations of deal-writing agent).

Appreciation is a bonus, but we won't buy in an area that requires our purchases to be solely for appreciation purposes. 

Let the present numbers speak and take the long term positioning as a bonus to your ROI 

Well ceo's are driven to get ever higher profits for their share holders, in order to justify their exorbitant salary and bonuses.

One was for a 4/2 (1500') and the other for a 3/1 800' (it is really 2/1 with bonus room that tenants use as a bedroom). 

You earn bonuses if the people you recruited generate sales as well.

You might also offer some financial bonus for the tenant when they move out if they leave your place in good condition and remove all their belongings.

@Jonathan Twombly it is a 3 bed plus bonus room its around 1800 square feet. home was built in 2006 it is in a development with a pool.

Again, I'm not saying that's unethical or immoral but, let's call it what it is and not give it any more credence than it deserves.Finally, i'd be very careful about conveying to a prospective tenant that they could get cash for keys as an added bonus/incentive to enter into a lease with you because, if they don't, you subject yourself to being sued by the tenant.
