I want to put in place some incentives for new tenants and want to know if anyone on BiggerPockets has done something similar.Here are a few ideas I have had:First Month Free: Sign a 13-month lease and get your first month freePets: No pet fee for the first 6 months, year, etcRent Discounts: Offer a discounted rent for the first month or two fortenants who sign a pre-lease agreement before a certain date.Waived Fees: Waive application fees, administrative fees, or securitydeposit for tenants who pre-lease.Free Utilities: Offer to cover utilities such as water, electricity,or internet for a certain period for tenants who sign a pre-lease.Upgrade Packages: Provide upgrades or amenities such as free parking,access to a fitness center, or a smart home package for those whopre-lease.Gift Cards or Vouchers: Offer gift cards or vouchers to localbusinesses such as restaurants, cafes, or grocery stores as a signingbonus.Flexible Lease Terms: Offer flexible lease terms, such as shorterlease lengths or the option to renew at the same rate, to incentivizetenants to pre-lease.Refer-a-Friend Program: Encourage current tenants to refer friends orfamily by offering them a reward if their referral signs a pre-leaseagreement.Early Move-In: Allow tenants who pre-lease to move in a few days earlyat no additional cost.Guaranteed Parking: If parking is limited, offer guaranteed parkingspots for tenants who sign a pre-lease agreement.

She estimated we could loan up to 500K on a mortgage with 5% down at a 6.8% interest rate. 

Therefore, I am not sure what's feasible in regards to 1) finding an affordable multi-family out that way and 2) what the unofficial neighborhood ratings would be out that way.I'd appreciate any advice as I consider my options, and a referral or two wouldn't hurt as well.Thanks,Phil

My issue is, I have very low interest rates and do not want to refinance and lost those rates.

Every market is different but check your areas electrical rate history.

If your property was in good location/good condition, i would say yes keep it...you have a low interest rates and i would assume it'll keep appreciating.

Interest rates make it harder! 

We have less than 1% eviction rate and 99% of rents collected (on tenants we've placed). 

That's unconscionable.I will note that last night, after I was able to plead my case with customer service via chat and get most (but not all, yet) of my money out via increased ACH limits, they sent out an email saying that they are breaking up with Blue Ridge bank and moving to a new banking partner that will offer checks and match the interest rate.
