I started in Nov2018 in search of local and online vendors/deals.Buying at a holiday time was also a benefit on top of the Lowe’s QSP pricing (anything over $1500) they gave me a very good discount.

Welcome to the BP family and Happy Holidays.

Happy holidays, networking and happy investing to you.Kudos,Mary

Throw a party, return calls quickly, raffles, best holiday display contests, send out community newsletter, birthday cards, etc.Partner with local businesses to negotiate tenant only monthly discounts.

I'll be there next week thru the Holiday's..

Wire transfer is an option but it typically takes a few days and nothing happens during weekends and bank holidays.

to attract tenants, i ran an ad in the paper with a "new year's security deposit special" in the beginning of the year...i lowered the deposit all the way down to 150, but jacked the rent up an extra 50 bucks per month (the tenants of course did not know that though)...instead of 400 a month, they will pay 450/month for a year...people that live in these 400/month rentals are usually not great with money...thus, do not have the cash upfront to move in (esp. after the holidays)..i gave them a cheaper entrance, and they'll pay the extra 50 per month, which i will set aside as a deposit, just in case...the only downside i can see is if they trash the place in a few months before i can get an adequate aggregate deposit
