I was told recently by one of our engineers that his xmas bonus was more than his Cadillac CTS V.

By the time they start calling for us, they can hold their own on the phone.We compensate hour agents hourly and provide bonuses for deals we've successfully closed for leads that they vet.In addition to cold calling, they're also looking at the comps near a property to determine if our seller is in the right ball park.

Figure out what the local laws are, and follow those for "additional compensation" or "bonus"es.

Especially if they don’t get the bonus unemployment next time. 

If you can find other ways to add value as well, then that's an added bonus.

Cash flow primarily, and down payment money is a nice bonus.

Buyers seem to seize onto the term "turnkey" and at first think the furniture is just a bonus, due diligence shows this bonus has a premium cost. 

I read about giving bonuses and penalties if the work is done on time versus late.

But if there is a small payment due to the electric utility each month, then let the tenants collect the occasional bonus - rather than you being stuck with a large bill due to (wasteful) utility consumption.

I had a 4BR house for rent in a neighborhood where 3BR is way more common, and I had it priced competitive with the 3BR houses (basically, 4th BR is free or bonus).
