Listing after 2-3 months would also mean loss of rent, whereas listing now may mean property may be on the market for a bit longer.What have others experienced?

A strong buyers market indicates sellers price cutting and listings being bought under value which would lead to equity losses. 

so comparing miami to ohio or kansas or iowa is very wrong in my own opinion, because you are comparing diet coke with unsweetened tea, once the economy created its own pattern of success , comparing it to other town would not be accurate becoz the methodology of understanding the phenomenon has not been researched yet.like california is now the strongest market in usa although price wise it is the second highest and huge pop declines.

So I am at a loss and would really appreciate any advice. 

Demand for February/March move-ins should see a notable uptick sometime in January, but you'll for sure see your strongest rental demand in late spring/summer.Your most recent post mentioned that you were going to look for someone for a 6-month lease - I think this is a great way to approach it to minimize vacancy loss while biding your time until we get into the higher demand summer months.Getting creative with your lease term and credits/concessions could also be a good way to solve a few potential problems in one shot. 

However, they aren’t responsible for losses, debts, or costs—these remain the property owner’s responsibility.

Although we do have deals on the lending side that dont work but we are not forced into a position to take big loss's like we were when the banks were calling our loans.. this will happen in the DSCR world as all these folks are using same type of debt IE debt that can be called based on the terms of the debt or like you have seen with the syndicators that are talked about on BP max leverage bad debt things dont go right And you have cap calls or projects totally lost. 

The main drivers1) Local Inventory2) 10 year treasury(macro)3) Personal Debt levels(macro)4) Real Unemployment(not the unemployment number but real white collar job loss ratio'd to part time jobs). 5) Industry proliferation(can't tell me a tech or finance hub moves like a health hub).To tell me #2 will derive from the same inputs as it did in Sep/Oct, I'm willing to bet it won't.

See the attached breakdown of losses for more details.

Hopefully you sell if for enough to be able to walk away without a loss.
