With #3 above, your success should include some measure of reward to celebrate.

We recently paid off our primary property and purchased our first single family property in May and we are closing on a quadplex townhouse in September.The post would celebrate our recent purchase on the quadplex and request friends and family to send us leads if they hear anyone might be selling or notice any properties for sale by owner.

I also see more and more existing investors who are settling for, or even celebrating, terrible ROI on their rentals.

That way I can vet each group with some simple communication.Just a few polite questions that ask them if they are celebrating anything special, have you been to the area before, are you planning on bringing a dog, what are the ages of the kids...they are good conversation starters and show you are interested in making sure they have a good time.

So I know it is still a bit early to celebrate but I'm still going to share! 

My hot water heater went out at my home, with 6 guests staying there and a house full of friends and family for a celebration. 

Celebration ensues.

My market is predicted to be the healthiest in the nation and a local, prominent economist on a webcast forecast downward pressure on prices once vacancies rise in six months or maybe later.

Not a chance I'm giving gift cards on some holiday that they may not even celebrate.
