We stay just slightly lower than the going rate and offer a better product to entice long-term renters, so anyone asking to negotiate sends up an immediate red flag.Bottom line is if they cannot afford my rental rate, I cannot afford to rent to them.

They purposely set condo fees low to entice buyers and then raise the quickly thereafter.

Do you think this will entice investors so I can assign these properties?

That is what is so enticing to me.

If you offer cash for keys and it's say a small amount of 500 but they know the 1,400 in rent they are not paying it will take 3 months to get them out in a pro-tenant state and they can milk free rent and leave all the trash it's enticing to stay.

This is why at any level investors will establish a minimum deal size they won't go below, or at least the profit percentage of a small deal will have to be much greater than a bigger deal to entice them.

I'm bad at hiring contractors.I'm working on fixing that.Often I tell myself "I could save X number of dollars by doing work myself".My dayjob translates into about 40/hr, so I figure if I hire someone at $50/hr I'm m breaking even (20% tax savings)I'm thinking about literally moving $50 from the my business to personal account every time I do an hour of hammer swinging.Im frugal, so this might entice me to stop doing too much work myself.Does anybody else do this?

If by incentive, you mean a discount in rent, we have not offered such an enticement to prospective tenants.

We offer one time specials to help entice prospective residents to live with us.

Unfortunately there are some that use gimmicks to entice/fool others, and that includes prospective renters... once they've got the keys, they start saving up "in cash" for next years target to rinse & repeat.
