We thought, Oh maybe it's due to the holiday, we should give some time.

I would try to get to market rate after the holidays, a better time for you if they leave.  

A lowball offer might make dinner on the holidays awkward.

I think all you need is a title company to close your transactions - no don't need an account at this time - most title companies have lawyers to close your transactions -You should make sure that you buy real estate at a giant discount - Understand the management process - learn how to be a good landlord - a tenant is a customer - the tenant is the person who will pay for your mortgage - treat them well.Find discounted real estate from landlords who find themselves in rent court -Start to deal directly with owners - I don't think you should depend on agents selling retail properties - you need to go under-ground for great deals -Tax salesPublic AuctionsRun print ads and radio commercialsInternet - 5 weeks ago I created an internet site - I have received over 200 leads - have 70 offers out there and 15 ratified contracts - learn those systems and you will do well.Expired listings - go knock on some of those doors - an expired listing is  FAILURE of property to sell - I am sure the sellers are not happy - go find them and solve their problems.Direct mail to commercial properties owners - commercial buildings can be  great profit center - when you advertise for real estate - signs - internet or mailings always advertise - WANTED REAL ESTATE - houses - commercial and non-conforming properties - all cash -as is - no commission.

If it's 5PM on the Friday of a three-day holiday weekend, it's guaranteed that I'll get a call from one of the two low rent units, or both.

You don't need a giant list to be a good wholesaler.

Yes the bar and the 7' long 4' high giant aquarium are already gone. 

Im afraid that she will pay month to month then leave in the middle of holiday season/bad weather otherwise.

For me, I just do 1 major holiday, like a card or something. 

There is a giant goose egg along Milwaukee from about California Blue Line to Central Park and Milwaukee and four or five blocks out from Milwaukee where there isn't a single SFH or MF listing and hasn't been for months.
