The gifts are pretty inexpensive and are upgrading your property but they make the tenant feel like it's their home to be proud of and continue to take care of.You can train your tenants from the onset and this is just one way to do it whether you have one or 50.

Once you have enough participation in the forum, 10 posts, other members will be able to send you PM (private messages.)

. :-)I'm really enjoying BP and hope to start participating in the forums now that I've created an account.I'm a "professional" amateur, meaning I've been doing just a little real estate on the side since 1990, sometimes for flips, sometimes for short-to-mid-term rentals, always with an eye on appreciation in my own residence as well.

Please consider filling in your profile a bit more as well and uploading a personal profile image to we can better identify you as you participate on the site.

Michael, Most note participation really only take place in larger balance loans.
