On occasion, I have posted properties on CL with the property manager's contact info.  

I’ve had many weird circumstances in my 40 years like this where time and space have been precisely timed up to permit a “ window” ( pun intended) of opportunity for an almost supernatural occurrence to take place .looking back  I’ve escaped death on several occasions myself this way .

We came to Normal, IL from the Minneapolis area approx. 15 yrs ago, but we think about going back to Mpls on occasion (I'd prefer to get back to the Chicago burbs where I grew up, though). 

In running this business, I come across countless occasions when I could use a lawyer.

Now we’ll do it on occasion but we require tenants pay to move in and then once we finally are paid we reimburse them.

I truly respect that, since I have mulched my own path (where others said travel was impossible) on occasion.

Every time I have offered it for a fee on the rare occasion it was possible, folks magically find some other solution.OP, you're running a business.

We expressed to them on several occasions that this needed to happen fast since we had multiple parties interested.

I know these things can happen, and I should be prepared for things to go wrong on occasion, but I am not willing to let the horror stories keep me from buying my first property, especially if I have systems in place to hopefully minimize the risk of putting these types of tenants in my properties. 

, her response was no on two separate occasions.
