My organization periodically brings in a Realtor, and I attended his last presentation and peppered him with questions.

Your question isn't peppered with enough detail to properly provide guidance.

Don't pepper her with too many questions at first.  

There are a number of good providers peppered throughout the forums, some of which I know personally or have worked with myself. 

People can be beat to death with a flashlight, tasered to death, a group of people died in a nighclub in Chicago from the improper use of pepper spray that led to a stampede.

You take a canister of animal pepper spray with you -- you can get one on Amazon. 

As far as the rental, start peppering Craigslist, try inexpensive ads like Thrifty Nickel, put for rent/sale signs out, post signs at your local grocery stores, and ask everyone you meet to help you find a tenant or buyer.

The investors there are already peppering the hell out of the market.

@Cheryl Pepper I think you are misunderstanding the role of an agent and what they are legally allowed to do.  

@Cheryl Pepper...Thanks for the insight.
