He does this not only because he wants to support them for what they do for our country, but apparently as a veteran they also get added income bonuses for section 8 which reduces the risks one typically gets with a standard section 8 tenant.

The better my understanding and evaluation the stronger deal I have to entice buyers.

What about a bonus payment paid if/when the tenant renues the lease or stays longer than 12 months.

I never bothered asking about it considering it seemed like a bonus to me at the time...It makes sense in hindsight, I just don't have enough experience in property tax laws/details.

Type (SFH, MF, Commercial), market, neighborhood, total purchase price etc. can all kill a deal for one particular individual seconds after analyzing it even though those same factors might entice another. 

If I keep the balance over 15k or and pay 2 bills a month (or some configuration of banking) I earn a good deal of bonus points.

It's not an annual election that you "figure out" every year like electing to use mileage vs. actual for automobile expenses or electing to not take bonus depreciation.  

We have since implemented a penalty/bonus system to incentivise adherence to scheduling. 

Oddly enough (or perhaps it's not)  both leases are now paying $950/month, with 3% year escalators and gave a $5,000 signing bonus to landlord.I'm curious if anyone else out there has negotiated tower leases and how you did?
