Don't anticipate negative responses, just go about your business and reward yourself each time you make a phone call.

I know this falls out of your responsibilty and that they probably won't move over it, but I believe in rewarding good tenants with minor upgrades.

Where our clientele is almost exclusively international students, many come from a cultural background where co-ed cohabitation {family members excluded} would be unacceptable.I'm not saying I'll never see through my initial plan to transition the house into two conventional apartments, but as long as the risk/reward and workload levels remain where they are presently, we will keep things as they are.

When I apply "best practices" as a rehabber and landlord I am generally rewarded by stable rents and restored property value.

I consider myself a bit of a risk taker and agree with your mentality @Manny Rodriguez  that with great risk comes great reward.  

It has been the most rewarding experience for me thus far.

Rather, I plan to focus on rewarding long term tenants who pay on time with rent discounts for new leases (higher discounts for longer leases ala Mike Butler) and upgrades (really, things I mostly plan to improve anyway).

He was less successful dabbling in the eugenics of race, proposing financial rewards for the poor and those he deemed genetically disadvantaged -- that’s code for black -- if they volunteered for sterilization.There is always risk of overreach when people venture outside of their skill set and into other fields.

Over the years we've learned the hard way that lenience rarely has rewards and more often comes back to haunt you.Hopefully, you've learned your lesson on screening.  

This is risky and provides little to no income to rely on until you can sell and hopefully reap the rewards.
