I would not waste a single second trying to charge her rent.

I don't want people to waste their time & apply if they don't fit the bill above. 2) After I get applicants, how do I shortlist the top ones & send them the link to do get their credit & background checked through Cozy (I know the technical aspect of how to actually do this, but I'm asking for about the shortlist process). 

I'll be finished in about 12 weeks and will have loads more time for networking.

It’s a waste of time.  

They don't want to waste that answering constant questions from buyers who may or may not do anything, play games, flake out, etc.Example I would want to see your financials and capacity to buy.

That's a waste of my time. 

Individually putting names into a spreadsheet is a HUGE waste of time.

Agents don't have to do anything that wastes their time.  

Trying to understand how risk is limited in the sense of a property owner not wanting to sell that you need to complete a project/assemblage.That is a loaded question and the best thing to do is work with a good land use attorney and consultant to help you through the process.

That's why I was nervous and want to sell quickly, I want to get some funds back as cash and have the dry powder to load up if another crash comes.
