Jeffrey tells us to offer fries with every order just like they do at McD's. I love up-sells above my base advertised rents. Pets, payday rent plans, and washer/dryer sets are mine. Rented one today with the washer/dryer for an extra $40/month. It gets even better. Had my handyman haul the washer/dryer from 3 doors up the street where it was left by the previous tenant. A nice matching Maytag set that works fine, just needed a little cleaning up. One tenant's trash earns the landlord an extra $480/year. Cha-ching!

Jeffrey has some wonderful ideas that comes in handy at times. As us landlords branch out, we need new ideas to compete and market our rentals. I've enjoyed the lectures, seminars, books, filers and news letters from Jeffrey/Mr. Landlord over the years. --47.156.xx.xx

Great! Wasn't that nice the way that worked out? : )

I was thinking about tis concept, also, as there has been discussion on paint colors and curtains & such. Why not give them what they want - for a profit?

Of course, this really doesn't work so well on the low end rentals. Or could it? Maybe there are some upgrades even class c tenants would pay for, if they could afford it....need to think about that.... --68.10.xxx.xxx

DJ, actually C residents are often more likely to pay for upgrades more than other residents. That's why you see Rent-a-center type locations in C class neighborhoods more so than others. Are there any near your rentals? --100.4.xx.xxx

Excellent point Jeffery! In fact, I did see a rent-a-center van on the security camera at the rooming house the other day! --68.10.xxx.xxx

Yes, other than pets, it’s the lower end units that pay extra for washer/dryer and payday plans. The folks on the upper end will come up with a way to buy the washer and dryer, even if they have to pay on a CC. If the folks on the lower end go to the rental place and see the set for $25/wk vs mine for $40/mo or $10/wk they will take mine. --70.178.x.xx
