We're hoping that there will be more listings coming online here in the next month or so.

you say they have insurance for their pet,, they need to give you a copy of that and you need to verify with company policy is up to date, give a copy of that to your ins company and let them know your working to have them move out and have given them notice to do just that. 

They were simply the king of online bookstores. 

Every market in residential zoning has an expiration date, we just don't know what it is yet.The obvious solution is to buy in already regulated areas with tourist/commercial zoning.The returns are lower, but at least they can't go to zero overnight.

What I've gathered so far, is that it is more than likely a step in their process to change the electric utility back into PM's name (they took care of all bills on our behalf) by the move-out date.

I recommend doing your research and looking at properties online. 

Just got off the phone with the zoning guy and he said since both of my lots pre-date the zoning regulations in the city, they're grandfathered in so-to-speak, which means I am able to build a single family on each one!

While you are figuring it out and/or deploying it over time, US Treasuries and certain CDs are paying 5%...and 4% for certain online savings accounts.

Now when your agent actually does the release then they send it to the listing agent and its is the listing agents responsibility to forward that doc to the sellers we do this all the time via docu sign or hello sign or whatever on line document system the local MLS uses.. somehow you seem to have this backwards..

However, if all they offer is general info, I think you can find most of it yourself in Bigger Pockets and other online sources.
