If the people and the property are qualified, I do it every single transaction regardless of the buyer asking for it or not.Typically a CalHFA MCC has the net effect that reducing your interest rate by about 0.75% would have.

We reduce our non refundable move in fee from $500 to $250 when we dont have them but it is well worth it.  

As delinquency mount the income is reduced and choices are made on whose underlying mortgage gets paid for whatever reason.  

I have had other loans where I reduced the time to pay and raised both the interest rate and monthly payment and they were happy to agree since to them the most important thing was to pay off the house quickly.

Here is an example of ours:LAUNDRY ROOM RULESUse the laundry room only during the hours of 8:00 am to 10:00 pm; Start loads no later than 8:30 pm as it takes about an hour and a half to complete washing/drying; The washing machine cycle runs for 25 minutes and the dryer cycle runs up to 60 minutes.Remove clothing promptly from machines; plan accordingly.Open/close outside door quietly; gently pull the door closed and use your key to lock it.Open/close appliance lids and doors quietly;Do not overload the machines; overloading of the washer reduces effectiveness of cleaning and overloading of the dryer poses a fire hazard.Clean lint filter before and after running a load in the dryer; Keep the area tidy.Turn off lights and lock door when leaving.If you experience any problems in using the laundry room or equipment, please call the owner/manager at XXX-XXX-XXXX.THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

The advantage of investing in multi-housing is that it helps you reach your investment goals faster; It enables you to purchase two or more doors with one loan generating more cash flow, there is less competition among buyers and if you purchase 5 units or more you can get a commercial loan which offers more flexibility in financing.So if, for example, your goal is to become financially independent with a specific number to help you do that, buying multi-housing can significantly reduce the time to complete that goal.

I usually place a realtor between me and a Buyer or Seller, take a referral fee, and have the agency participate in post liability issues.  30+ years doing business and no problems but it only takes ONE and if you are licensed, you reduce the risk and improve profitability.  

My preferred methods: Money order not likely to bounce difficult to cancel (although many have limits)Online rent collection easy to trackauto-pay to reduce late payments

I will sometimes test the market at higher rent prices and reduce to get it rented.

Just like you, I didn't see any point in wasting my time on hundreds of calls or emails from tire kickers and this process has greatly reduced the amount of time I spend on people who I don't want and has quite honestly reduced the pain and suffering that is a large part of filling vacancies.
