Consider sending mailers to charitable groups/churches: They frequently receive gifts of real estate, but they’d rather have the cash 51.

They are holding onto the land for now and plan to either gift them to kids/grandkids in the future or leave them in the trust.

The gift proceeds will not be subject to income tax.

If so, the loan was probably 'real money' from their checkbook and they'll likely respond better to an offer to give them something more than a game show host's goodbye (a lovely parting gift).

Did a 7 hour round trip to Pella, Iowa to get Dutch Pastries at Jaarsma Bakery and some Beef Sticks/Jerky at In't Velds as Xmas gifts for all the Bankers and Contractors. 

The GP is essentially gifted 20% of the deal for their efforts and is in the cash flow day 1.

Equity gifted to you is a return on investment. 

We have thrown around a cash incentive, gift cards etc.Please let me know what you think would work, all ideas are appreciated!

Half-renovated houses where the former owner blew the renovation and left the place unsuitable for the retail market are gifts from benevolent providence to a good handyman or home improvement contractor.

For an extra $24k (over the course of 20 years - $1,200/ year) you give your child a gift instead of a monthly payment.
