tenants will try anything and everything to minimize the amount that they pay ( it is human nature ) but this is a business and you must treat it as such.  

The human in me applaud's you for your ethics but , the business man in me wants to slap you very softly lol..only because, if you had bought those properties for more money and they were not paid for ..would you then raise the rents to iindustry standard minus the discount for being on time .. ?

If they do not want to stay based on being happy then a bribe will not change that and I do not want them if they do not want to stay.Always interesting how some people have no concept of human nature.

The human psyche and habits are really stressed as part of successful long term investing.

hi mark, i was thinking of just flipping it. its a small 2 bedroom which would not bring in much for a rental i think, and rental is not really my game. it is in an area that i know is currently in a revitalization effort by the city. the director of development has told me that they are putting in a mini mall with a major grochery chain store involved. also, they have already started to put in 48 new houses in the immediate area as part of that revitalization effort too. admittedly, this house is in an area that has deteriorated over the last 20 years, it does have a multi unit " projects" housing very close by and has gone from largely black area to more arab residents. the street that this house sits on has about 10 new habitat for humanity houses already built and inhabited also. its an area that is up and coming, but is only in process. if i get it, i will let you know, mark

My thought was maybe someone would like to teach and gain a bigger profit and help a fellow human being at the same time.

And I just found out on the internet that Obama is a robot sent by an alien race to conquer humans and have sex orgies with our womens news at 10!!!!!
