I’ve been able to extended the closing date to be 45 days and I can start advertising the empty units during this period.

Call Homer and ask him for suggestions and to "Get It Sold" like he advertises. 

I did find one of my deals on zillow which was an MLS listing, and the other one I found also advertised on zillow but it was a FSBO and that was actually being sold by someone who was flipping it, so it had been completely redone and was ready to rent aside from a few touches I wanted to add myself. 

The only thing they advertise is 30 minutes to Atlanta, 30 minutes to Stone mountain, and sleeps up to 16!

Anything but the middle of winter.I was also kicking around the idea of having a lease end 10-15 days before the end of the month so I could start advertising it as available at the first of the next month when I'm assuming most people will want to start a lease and also have a few days to get in and do any necessary work.Does anyone else do this or is there a better strategy for reducing the vacancy time between tenants? 

Instead of targeting keywords like "Property Management Company", try targeting the names of your larger competitors in the area who have higher advertising budgets.

You cannot advertise a property for sale you don't own unless you are a licensed agent/broker and then you are doing so on behalf of an owner with their express permission to do so.

I have seen advertised properties for sale that have half of the real expense calculated in them.

When researching target rental rates, I assume this is pre-tax and would need to confirm the comps are advertising Long-term leases or pre-tax Short-term leases/M2M?
