perhaps you don't know how the down payment Works in a Traditional Bank mortgage. the down payment money has to sit in your account for 3 months and you have to explain where it came from can't be a gift or come from your friends.

I tried an experiment where I wrote a handwritten thank you card and put out a welcome gift for every guest...and we still got the same number of 4 and 5 star reviews. 

I would focus my attention on tenant retention, perhaps you drop off a small gift for their birthdays or a card for the holidays.

As a thank you for reading the post here below are two gifts from myself and MileIQ. 

I'm partnering with someone who is loaning me the money for the down payment, so it's by no means a gift, but I was told it doesn't make a difference. 

It's a sweet cherry-on-top gift that can be presented to the client / investor.

None of the down payment or closing costs for an investment property may be from gift funds.

I'm 24 years as a broker investor and know all the intrical parts of the real estate business call me.

Have you spoke to family to discuss potential gifting of monies for a purchase which is allowed under owner occupied purchases?

@Andrew S.You should work with your CPA/EA on treatment of this sale.Generally a sale materially below FMV to a family member or friend would be considered part sale and part gift.
