Think about it:  If you have a 3 bed 2 bath townhouse in Woodbridge and list on Zillow/Craigslist, you have to wait for tenants to find it themselves, then sift through all the junk inquiries. 

They just floated the inquiry today, so I have a lot more digging to do if they are serious, but if they come back with a number I'd like to know if they are in the right ballpark.Thanks!

I explained my other refi inquiries for all those years and asked her how could she do it....she said, they were all wrong because I had a VA loan on it, the non-owner occupy rule did not apply. 

And the heck with the one or two inquiries as the benefit of doing this a few months in advance can be extremely beneficial for multiple reasons! 

Too many inquiries will negatively impact that score.

@Ian Whiteman I believe that for mortgages you have a 30 day window where you can have various inquiries that will only count as one on your credit, because the credit bureaus know you need to shop around. 

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a tool that automates calls and emails as I am busy with other stuff. Just curious what software/tech people usually use to streamline that. Thanks

I just had an inquiry thru zillow about a 2/1 I have for rent .  

s to ask to limit 30 inquiries down to 3 in moments;)  I do not spend time receiving 96 'is it still available?'

Cleaning would be straightforward as you would only be renting 2x year and guests would only pay for the check-out clean (unless they request midstay cleans) so maintenance would be the major key to your self-management.If your listing has not had a great response on VRBO you may need to look into hiring a professional photographer as VRBO receives alot more inquiries than Airbnb in South FL.
