I had previously posted about this but I believe people misinterpreted what I meant and then it fell down the chain of posts.  If you get a vetted, high quality tenant that is likely to be a safe bet to make money, would you reduce rent in order to close the deal?  I am talking about 3-6% on monthly rent.  The idea is the discount will entice the quality tenant and then he will lease from me.  It really comes down to the question, how much is a good tenant worth?

Would you discount rent on a unit for a good tenant?  Offering a discount on monthly rent will more or less help close the deal and ensure I get a good renter.  Is this a good practice and how much would you recommend discounting a $2,000 a month apartment?  I was thinking 5-10%. 

I am thinking about launching an apartments site.  In your opinion, what is the best way to win you over and get you guys to sign up?  I was thinking about a per lead model so it wouldn't cost anything.  Any tips, suggestions or just general feedback?  

Best,

Alex.  

My average is around $18 per lead. There is also a website that has a pricing model of $20 per lead, do you think this is reasonable? I am curious whether or not that's a good value and if not what would be appropriate?
