I would let that applicant know that it is in your best interest as a landlord to have your property perform as many months out of the year as possible, and that by allowing it to sit vacant you are losing money. Let her know that you are more than willing to keep the property for her as long as she compensates for that lost time (AKA start paying rent now, move in whenever you like)

EDIT:

Keep in mind that there are insurance implications with keeping the property vacant. Speak to your insurance provider for further clarification.

I am not a handyman, but when i purchased my rental it needed work so i went about completing my tool kit with a purchase as you go mindset. There are plenty of hardware stores around town so i decided not to buy anything until it was needed. By the end of the project here is what i ended up with:

2 pairs of work gloves (one heavy duty pair with short fingers for the dirty work, one normal rubber grip pair)

Hats for working in the sun.

Respirator.

Caulking gun (The cheap one, wish i had @Jim K.'s advise back then).

Impact driver.

Drill.

1 Hammer (there are instances where i wish i had smaller / bigger hammer, but come on.... one does the trick).

Measuring tape.

Crow bar.

A few putty knives.

Lots of gardening tools (2 rakes - hard and soft, hoe, loppers, 2 shovels etc)

A good level tool.

Lots of razors (man, razors have many more applications than just shaving my dumb face haha)

Here is the way i looked at it:

I am not in a business of working on other people's properties, so i wont need everything under the sun (or home depot's roof). So if i purchase things i THINK i will need - i am running a chance of wasting money on something that's going to end up sitting in my garage without any use.

On the other hand, since i already have a project on my hands that requires certain tools - i know that i will put these tools to use at least once. At the very least, buying these has made my life easier for the time being. Also, since the scope of work was very general, i figured there is a high probability that i will require similar things in the future, so i did not feel bad for spending money on these items.

EDIT:

I think i should also mention that a few years ago my car got stolen and recovered. The crackhead who stole it went on a ****in spree and had a **** ton of stolen items in the back that included a circular power saw hahahaha! I have never used it and quite frankly - don't know how. But seeing that i'm not a complete idiot, i'm sure i can figure it out if i end up needing it in the future lmao!

My question is WHY?

Yes, there may be qualities in your property that could be attractive to that demographic…… So…. Advertise those qualities!

Those who are interested (be it LGBTQ or otherwise) will buy what you are selling if they find it appealing.

I just don’t see a point of targeting LGBTQ specifically when properly marketing those features will get the job done. (I am also interested to know what it is about your property that in your mind is attractive to LGBTQ)

Oh boy! I do not envy the intern whose job it is to sit around all day creating fake BP accounts to promote F&G on this forum lmao!

LOL

@Mindy Jensen 

Can you please do your job and moderate this thread? There is plenty of misleading and dishonest information here. For example – it was claimed that Ozark is better than Breaking Bad. Also, no mention of Better Call Soul on any of the lists.

Shame on yall for spreading all these lies.

@Account Closed, yea i should have waited to ask that. The answer was on the first page of this thread lol. Not my usual self today, i normally try to read the whole thing before commenting.

Thanks man!

@James Wise, just saw this (was out of country for a week then out of state for another). Havnt had the chance to read through this thread yet, so forgive me if it already got answered. 

He is simply SLAPPing you. Thats all it is. In your state, are there any anti-slapp regs available? If so, he just added to his troubles.

Still have not made it to the end of this thread, but i just had to comment on something.......

@Erik W. You are part of the reason i love bigger pockets!!!!! I now consider myself fairly educated on real estate. By that i mean i understand more than most common folks do. You can find plenty of good info online and in articles. What to watch out for in an inspection? - Google it. How to vet property managers? - Google it. etc etc.........
But here, on Bigger pockets, you get to see gems like these. You talking about clouding the title with lis pendens but not actually litigating. Maybe i am just showing my inexperience here, but thats ok. I would have never even thought of looking something like that up but bigger pockets delivers. Now i have some interesting reads ahead of me.
