Oh, you are right Adam Schooley , I think BP thinks I'm in Pompano based on my zip code.I'm indeed in Coconut CreekThe funny thing is my only attraction to Coconut Creek is my son's current school, but my objective is to homeschool, so I can really live anywhere in Broward.

Does anyone have experience attracting prospective tenants by offering one month's rent free...say "13th month free with 12 timely rent payments"?  

The fourplexes near the newer Wal Mart seem to be in a much better location however, potentially attracting better tenants? 

Hold your breath at the hearing(s) for the variance. 

Also understand that with commercial LLC financing your terms will not be as attractive.

Plus the younger generation prefers other methods of payment.I've used PayPal for security deposits but they charge my tenants a fee.....so it's not attractive for rent.I'm not sure if Google Wallet charges a fee?

If you have the lower rents which attract the younger folks, you are going to have a situation just a step up from a college party house. 

I did not raise his rent with the written agreement he is responsible for mowing the grass.I prefer not having tenants in place personally, but I can see why it would be attractive if you want to invest in a multi.  

There is strong demand and the tenants that I attract are high-quality tenants with solid incomes and credit scores. 

For more accuracy, just take a deep breath, grab a large coffee and line by line an excel spreadsheet.
