It requires a special trip to Lowe's, Home Depot, or Walmart and I'm speculating most tenant's don't care to even go down that aisle in Walmart while they are there.

It sounds corny, and is kind of goofy, but I know several agents in different markets, who simply walk around large grocery stores, Wal-Marts, or go the Mall.

I am considering getting $10 or $25 gift cards to Target or Walmart for my tenants.

Further, if you do not state that making a profit is your primary purpose, and do state other purposes, it appears to be and is somewhat dishonest.I personally am tired of hearing about Exxon's committment to the environment, Ford wanting to bring excellence to Detroit and Walmarts dedication to bringing consumers the lowest prices.

I can buy anything I want at walmart anytime I want...As far as My hair...

They just don't get it and probably won't until they are filling out the application to work at Walmart as the greeter....Very Sad....It didn't have to be that way if they had just planned a litte.

You can't get too much more negative than that.Yet, you buy a parcel for $1 million at the edge of town, 2 years later, a super Wal-mart goes in next door, and you sell for $3 million to Lowes.I know it isn't 2% cash flow, but it is enough for me, and it's been negative cash flow every month for 2 solid years.The investors who absolutely must have the 2% rule wouldn't have touched that.

Finding a broker is as easy as finding a WalMart or Target.

The last thing you want for tax advice is wal-mart prices and wal-mart quality. 

Walmart, HD, Lowe's, etc. have half-price returns - Monday is the day to check on those.
