Assorted gift cards are never a bad idea either.

Depending on the vicinity of these new institutions you may be serendipitously gifted a blanket rezone by the State/County.

How about an amazon.com gift card and a hand written note as well as letting them know that you'll use them for the next deal that you need to get listed. 

you could pick random tenants quarterly and maybe give them a $10 Starbucks gift card if they complete the survey just a thought.

=D yea, doubt i'd/we'd want to rely on donated or granted money for building, it will be my gift back to the public as my own net worth continues to grow. but yea, crowdfunding sounds like a fun source to explore in the interim!

The beauty of this is that you can buy $100 gift cards to HD and Lowes at grocery stores. 

Grandma was gifted home in 04 from the govt from a eminent domain proceeding from her original home.

(I remembered I had a free $25 gift card from B&N :) ).

Then do a 0% down VA for a principal residence/future rental SFR later.Low-down payment financing backed by the govt is one of the greatest gifts to real estate and ROI, IMHO.And yes, have them sign a lease if you do this deal and they stay.

I would like to prevent water damage as much and as soon as possible.Should I consider giving flowers or some other welcome gift to new tenants?
