That was a small gesture that I liked, but I still knew I had to pay rent on time.

But then again there may have been a cluster of us around the amount that we bid, and each may have received this message.So as I see it, our options are:1) Raise the offer to our true max.2) Offer the same.3) Offer the same, but crank the earnest money deposit up (maybe a gesture of commitment like this would be effective, since they've just recently been "stood up?")

( Professional personal relationships, websites, magazines, etc... )4-Is there a specific location ( state or county ) that you would recommend for a first investor where the market is beneficial to us, and where you can get more house for your dollar and put more profit in my pocket.Those are my questions for you guys at the moment, in advance thank you very much for your time. i appreciate the gesture very much, excited to start meeting other members and help each other throughout our success.** If there is any investors in the South Florida area that have projects going on and feel i can benefit and learn from you as a mentor, meanwhile i give you a helping hand.

Thing is, put into his terms, can you really bring the dollar value to offer as payment to make it a enticing value or just a symbolic gesture?

There's not much margin in it, and it's more of a favor or good will gesture, so I want to make sure I minimize my risk going into this.Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!

Sound like a nice gesture but some locales the seller isn't required to do ANY repairs.

@Deborah Repaskey It's not necessary, but a small kind gesture can go a long way.

I agree with @Luka MilicevicIt sounds like a nice gesture until he crashes your car.

What a Silly foolish unscalable gesture that only a hobby landlord with 2-3 units would do .

You can’t create this precedent for you or any other one of your tenants.Snow removal is their job, end of story.The fact they they were going to sell the snowblower means that you need to start doing routine maintenance check ins at least once a month to make sure they aren’t stealing other things from you.Lastly, do not renew this tenant under any circumstance.On a personal level, the snowblower was very nice of you and for the right tenant with a good track record, it would be a nice gesture.
