And one more question I've worked with 3 REA thus far but so far none of them communicate timely (it usually take 2-3 days to get a response even when I'm letting them know I want to offer on a property) is this common?

Same with anyone who gets 20 experienced-backed responses to their question yet ghosts the thread. non response or proper thank yous on PM's have caused me to not do those anymore I might write one sentence but it is weird how common courtesy does not resonate  with so many people on SM or maybe just on this site..

Don't be dumb, use common sense for when to call. 7pm on a Friday is dumb, so is 6am on a Tuesday.

Common and standard note terms. 

You'll typically find that travel nurses want a 13 week term as that is the most common length of their contracts.

Thus many in our investor community are considering renting their properties out to FEMA, as FEMA just started advertising to us about such. 

We’re from Allentown, and unfortunately, this is a pretty common issue around here.

Should I offer to pay them for their consultation, or are these types of questions common as part of the PM vetting process and is a "courtesy service"?

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
