Go wtih what works - but intelligently.We offer a free month of rent, but to avoid desperate people, we credit 50% towards their 2nd month (to make sure they can afford 1st month rent + SD) and then credit the other 50% the 5th month.

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.

@Nick Rutkowski no good deed goes unpunished by desperate people:(We try cash-for-keys (CFK) all the time, but tenants always think they're smarter than us.Most are so ignorant, they expect the funds BEFORE they move out.NEVER!
