Any urgency should have been baked into the list price.

It creates a sense of urgency for the prospective tenants to make a decision when they are walking through the house with other people and saves me time.As I get inquiries I just schedule them all a couple of days from the first inquiry to build up a group.I have had people standing in line to fill out an application. 

You should consider several factors: 1) Time frame/urgency to get a loan 2) Loan amount 3) Lowest interest rate.It's very unlikely you can get all three.

@Neal Collins Sound advice there, That scenario is a good one to choose but I sense some urgency in closing the deal is of value here so I chose to inherit the tenants to close the deal quicker, it appears that helped me get the discounted price.

A sense of urgency in your marketing might help, as it seems someone is going to get a tremendous value!

I tried to keep the sense of urgency while stating that this is something more personal than just a wholesale type situation (which may or may not add value I guess we'll see). 

It is a rental and profitable so he sees no urgency to sell. 

😬🤪That being said, we are feeling the urgency and we need some help!

Mail a letter, sure, but the urgency of initiating multiple points of contact before your competition beats you to it is critical here.

I have been nervous about meeting the required time frames if a loan under writer wasn't able to recognize the urgency or possibly create contingencies which change the deal.Thank you!
