Plus, I offered to pay his commission if say a FB marketplace listing didn't pay a commission, plus offered a $500 bonus if he got her out in 3 weeks.

As a bonus, prior to close, we had already lined up a tenant and had the lease signed so the lender was able to use that rental amount instead of relying on estimates to give us an extra buffer in case something was slightly off.

Bonus entitlement is still capped at the county limit.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $100,0001939 and 1930 historic homes I restored and rent, The two story is now AirBnB and the bonus is that half of the large lot is empty.

Bonus for you, it's completely passive -- we do all the work and send you the returns.Here's how it works -- we find an apartment complex, get it under contract, get a loan, raise money from private investors for down payment and rehab costs, then manage the property and renovations... 

The bonus on this is it doesn't show up on your credit report either. 

After standard deduction 24,800(married filing jointly), I have a negative taxable income of -24800 which is same as 0, meaning I don't get any bonus points for having large negative income.

I'm thinking of ways to speed the process up, like offering a gift card as a leasing bonus.

My income is roughly $170,000 pre-tax from my W2 job including salary, bonus and stock + income from my properties.

Consider the fact that  more than likely  those who had already applied with a broker or bank and already  had their documents in a file were able to take advantage Of this very short lived rate bonus.
