Giving back to tenants?
Last year we tried something new. In early December, we sent both our tenants (we only had two units at the time) a Christmas card saying thank you and enclosing a $50 gift card. We did it mainly to say thank-you to people who are paying their rent and bless them during the Christmas season. Theoretically they might see it as a small perk of renting from us and stay longer, but that isn't the point.
Are there any more experienced investors out there (more years and more units) who given back to their tenants? Money? Gift Cards? Cookies?
