If you don't go all the way up the wall with the fireplace stone you could stage it with a big clock, piece of art or TV mounted above it.

Obviously this is something that would only be offered to tenants that have proven to be better quality.I figured that I would escalate the value of the benefit based on how long they have been a tenant.So for signing a renewal after the first year offer options of either a $100 gift card, free accent wall painting, or maybe a lease credit, etc.For signing a renewal after the second year offer options of $200 gift card, professional carpet cleaning, free flat screen TV, etc.

I can't remember WHO said it, so I will just call him Chicken Little.I don't believe ANYTHING I hear on TV as far as financial information.

I still watch a lot of 'flip this house' shows on TV and always have the bug to start doing them again.

They also do this for the TV with Dish, bringing in 1 connection and redistributing the channels to all units for an up charge.

I'm always amazed at the TV shows on flipping where they show the people selling the house after the rehab and they're explaining to the prospects how bad the house was before they just fixed it up.

Offer LCD TV, free appliances or down payment assitance at closing.

I recently read (no personal experience) about a landlord offering certain services included in the rent, such as cable tv.

We identified our brand and company on the videos and had a registration from for viewers prior to watching the video.The second ad we ran was strictly a branding ad.

Well not only tv but you have sites like BP.
