I'm very willing to offer something to them on any level that I can best help them, I'm definitely not expecting handouts or to not hold up my end of the bargain.

Many, many landlords with sizable portfolios are now able to hand out these juicy well paying commission jobs to friends and family without paying them out of their own pocket.

Freezing debt payments, high unemployment, lost revenue, lost tax revenue and government hand out loans all come at a cost.   

I suspect were you bought  a 500 fico is average.. so your kind of stuck with that hand out mentality and tenant.  

must be nice ..must be great to have plenty of extra money that he can afford to just hand out gift cards to everybody like nothing .guess im going to Wally World to get a few packs of smokes now .So you're saying is that when you give a tenant a gift, you're going to piss them off so much, they're all going to go on a rent strike and burn your building down then sue you?

Sometimes their speakers have trade show booths where you can speak directly with them or they are available before or after their speaking session.

You don't need a powerpoint or handout, but if we settle on a meeting location with reliable A/V equipment it may be an option.

I agree with Account Closed that there should be some relief out there for people, but I am not one for broad swath handouts.
