So plan to to do the same for afar......I tell my tenants I am out of town, give them my contacts,  andI have pros numbers ready just in case, and go for it....yes, you could get a leak call while in the line in Disney Land, but what are the odds.

I had to stop going to school out of panic that tuition would get in the way of me paying the car (as I was constantly being reminded that a voluntary repo would kill my financial future, my chances of purchasing a home, and make it more difficult for me to get approved for student loans etc) I ended up trying to to keep up with payments. 

But the basic answer is my selling point is school district, and I would drop as much as I had to to get a tenant in August rather than wait till after the school year has started, or especially winter.So, on that applicant that only wants it for a year, isn't it a case of possible vacancy a year from now versus certain vacancy now?  

There are some caveats; however, that is why someone like myself networks with colleagues worldwide in an effort to to be able to research and get things done.

especially when you can buy more houses subject-to with really cheap debt.I certainly would not consider buying subject-to to be locking in today's low rates.

I would like to reach out to them and see if there is anything I could to to help them if their current situation is not well.

I don't expect to be pointed toward a particular brokerage, but I'd much appreciate your thoughts on how to to do better due diligence this time around.
