@Michael LewisYour book on the 2008 crash was good. Will

Closet full of clothes left behind - (now donated to Goodwill), Kitchen appliances (donated to Goodwill). 

So far so good, will see how the pandemic affects the overall business plan....you can DM if you have specific questions....

I do expect an ROI but my bet is that if I lead with value by actually trying to help homeowners (and lose potential deals in the process) that I’d build goodwill in the community and more than make up for it with:1.

And definitely go to Goodwill for all your kitchen utensils and small appliances, you'll save a fortune if you do that. 

If it's not too much and they are good tenants, you can offer to split the expenses with them as a gesture of good will. 

By going beyond what’s expected, we not only built trust and goodwill but also created a lasting relationship that speaks volumes about the kind of business we strive to be.At the end of the day, real estate isn’t just about buying and selling houses—it’s about the people behind them and the impact you can make on their lives.

“Broker" means any person not excluded by sub. (3), who does any of the following:(a) For another person, and for commission, money, or other thing of value, negotiates or offers or attempts to negotiate, whether directly or indirectly, a sale, exchange, purchase, or rental of, or the granting or acceptance of an option to sell, exchange, purchase, or rent, an interest or estate in real estate, a time share, or a business or its goodwill, inventory, or fixtures, whether or not the business includes real property.

Over time, Section 8 rents did not keep up with market rents for my properties, so I slowly converted them to market tenants.Pros of Section 8:You are likely to have families as tenants, so it is more common to have long-term tenants.These are lifelong renters, so you don't get calls for stupid stuff that really should be tenant's responsibility.Most are used to slum lords, so simply being responsive builds huge amounts of goodwill to you.Cons:the biggest one, for me, was the annual inspections.  

Read: the trust of the agents and contractors you work with will go so far as their good will does.
