They began their company, Magnolia, years ago as a house flipping business and a small gift shop that they still own and sell products out of.

We are fortunate to be getting 20% gifted to us.

Looking at you @Lance Kawakami Steve every now and then there is someone like Lance that pops on to BP and thinks he is gods gift to comedy...

The gift that keeps on giving! 

To expedite the accumulation of reviews, focus on competitive market pricing, provide exceptional hospitality (aka.. go above and beyond to start... think welcome gift, etc), and encourage guests to leave feedback after their stay.

We had one incident where a tenant got divorced, mentally fell apart, received a dog as a gift and kept it locked in a bedroom all day.

She later remarried, paid off the mortgage and I gifted my part ownership to her and still lived there.

I asked her, "How do you typically use this gift?" 

You can also use something like https://www.bitrefill.com that allow you to use Cryptocurrency to buy gift cards from thousands of retailers and use their services, many have discounts too. 

We intend to gift properties and money to our heirs and they can be investors and landlords or whatever they chose to do.Not sure I really want a financial planner telling me what I am doing is screwed up, but I will listen to other RE investors and any good ideas they may wish to share.
