So how does one BEST get GOOD tenant's to ACT on a vacency listing FAST, and for BEST price and terms?   

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Both listed for around $499,000.

You can also build your buyers list from there as well.

. - I realize that contest window was long closed, but I acquired this duplex last week and was shocked to find these rates during closing as opposed to listing which did not show that.

There's a reason listing contracts and purchase contracts are so long.The challenge is investors are NOT business people and are too cheap to hire an attorney to review a Property Management Agreement/Contract!

The fee gets you listing maintenance, a professional person available around the clock to communicate with your guests and monthly/end of year reporting.

But then I dig for better context, and HOLY-COW, when I look at median list price, wowzers, yeah inventory is almost normal but that sure as heck isnt. 

On FF, make sure the comps you're using are actually booked properties, and you're not just pulling from every listing in an area as some of those may be sitting vacant because of bad pricing. 

I assume most have a list of buyers that they market their houses to but I'm not really sure how to find my way onto the right lists.
