But the FFE and good will components you cannot exchange. 

Make it seem like a good will gesture.

I've reached out to the real estate departments for Family Dollar, Goodwill, Chick-Fil-A, etc, to get information on what their requirements/criteria would be to expand into a particular market, as well as consider a ground lease for a particular location.

People sometimes can say things to discourage you because the last thing that they need is another “investor” and sometimes it can even be out of “good” will, BUT it is not the “appropriate” thing to say.

I'm already spending goodwill equity I have with my current tenants by bringing in strangers into their homes during these times. 

He has appeared regularly in films since his 1988 debut in “Mystic Pizza” with standout roles in “Saving Private Ryan,” “The Departed,” the “Bourne” franchise and “Good Will Hunting,” for which he won an Academy Award for best original screenplay.

Even paying partial rent is better than no rent and goes a long way with maintaining goodwill between a tenant and landlord. 

I understand you are hurt but goodwill only lasts so long with some people.  

If they don't pick it up, donate it to good will.

Bottom line, giving gifts doesn't buy any good will.
