Thus, those diligent savers are rewarded, and the poor and middle class are not unfairly burdened (it simply can't be argued that a flat tax does not favor the wealthy).

It seems to have created and established a reward system for perfect work that seems to work for us.

But when presented as a reward for a specific act we want to encourage, the tenant is more likely to continue doing whatever you are rewarding her for.Gift cards can be an important tool when training tenants and reinforcing good behavior (e.g. reporting a repair promptly, even when the damaged item does not impact the tenant's comfort).This is certainly not to demean tenants -- after all, everyone's been one at some point -- but we can draw many landlording lessons from the training of dogs.

I guess it's classic risk vs reward.

There needs to be a reward for the extra risk.

HIGH RISK -- HIGH REWARD?

Or a long list of other problems, including tax related.There are better risk vs. rewards out there.

Either is ok in my book.Many people would be offended by offering to reward them should things work out profitably.

But I promise you when I make my first million... my reward is going to be an LFA, and it will be a daily driver.

But then again, with more risk comes more reward.
