getting renters in as soon as possible

Hi

I am in contract for my 1st property - a townhome. super excited. Thanks to BP members for giving me courage to make this step. Not closed but fingers crossed.

Now, the question 

a) is there any good blog/post showing how best to rent it out

b) my COE is Aug6th. I would like to get renters in asap since rents seem to get lower starting sept and then i'll have to wait till summer. the townhome does require cosmetics improvement - carpet replacement, paint on walls, getting a few new appliances but nothing structural.

I can either show the property as-is and tell would be renters we'll get everything fixed or fix it up and then show it to a smaller section of renters (since some may have booked somewhere else). Am I being too impatient?

c) Anything I am missing. The property is in good location so looking at B+ renters.
