Many of the builders started offering larger commissions and bonuses a month or so ago.

Not to mention you have the added bonus of a written record showcasing how responsible and reasonable you are.Jon

If they chose to stay it was a bonus if not I had renovations in mind that needed to be done.

I checked out Larry's HUD website and ordered the Free book with several "bonuses'" A few days later, I received the HUD book in the mail with a list of the "extras" you get just for ordering the book.  

It can be a bonus to have a national tenant at below market rents when you sell later.

The school system, especially the high school is definitely a bonus. 

This house was gutted and completely transformed with exposed brick and I even added a Steam Shower as a little bonus.

Thats true Upen but its good to note that generally only the base or salary income can be used for qualification with out any waiting periods assuming the same industry.Using bonus/overtime/ auto reimbursement/commissions from a prior job will be hard to carry over unless it was a near identical position in the same industry like car sales man at chrysler to car sales man at a ford dealer or retail sales at AT&T to retail sales at Verizon Wireless.

I have my RE license and my brother is an HVAC contractor (which obviously is a huge bonus).  

I even offered to buy the study materials and give him a $1,000 bonus once it's done.
