That will sweeten the deal for them and they will be more likely to work favorably on this project, which in the end will improve your property and the living condition for these and future tenants.About the seven stumps.... you need to know where they're located, their size, and what kind of plant they were.

This sweetens the deal for them.

Recognize that your first few deals may require you to sweeten the offering a little to attract the capital until you build your track record up at which time you can set the terms at market or better. 

You can put your sweat in to sweeten the pot.

Ultimately I’m seeing all deals will sweeten overtime.

I dont know about you, but thats preety easy money. so why not gift or provide 1-2k to a client to sweeten their deal, Imean they did just line your pocket, and save you time. ;-)Anyway, this trategy is based on what works in my market. tweak it and make it work for yours.

We also keep creamer and sweetener stocked for the guests as well!

I also sweetened the deal with $350 "cash for keys" if he was out in 30 days and left the place in good condition...or as good as it could be since it was already in shambles.He had a friend with him during our meeting because he was too upset to really even talk to me. 

Had this been 3 nice adults you trusted, an increase in rent, deposits or other fees might help sweeten the deal.I am personally insulted when someone thinks they can force me in a direction because of discrimination.

Sweetens the deal but keeping emotions out of it.
