If not, call the S8 office and ask. 

I am also going through the eviction process in Winston-Salem called a bunch of attorneys and yeah they want crazy retainers however I was referred to one where there was a $300.00 hour phone consultation.

So, questions: (1) How do I properly introduce myself role when calling a seller and cash buyers?  

What they said ^^^^^I just called my Homeowner's Company (State Farm) and told them EXACTLY what I was going to do with the STR house(s).

If there is a way to apply the discount code without calling, then I don't see it. 

Quote from @Melissa Conner: If you are an agent that is a landlord or you work with owners of rentals- you/they Just called Melissa. 

I think phone calls would probably be the best though. 

It’s called TIME VALUE OF MONEY.  

It's the same idea.FYI I've seen subto contracts which provide for ~$50,000 in liquidated damages against a seller that reports the sale to the lender and that results in the loan being called.

Similar to the comments above on using FurnishedFinder, also check Airbnb and sort for 30+ day rental options. in addition, I'd recommend talking to the local university and hospitals nearby by calling to their various departments.
