New Bedford Listing Inventory has mostly remained strong throughout the year relative to the previous year with a dip in February.

Yesterday, tenant found listing on furnished finder and made specific requests and they were hoping to get in that day, so I told them they could deposit cash in my bank and I would email the lease directly, which I did.

In another case the property was owned by John Smith, but the county records were listed with sur name first, so as Smith John. 

Even if it does split the weekend, it usually fills in eventually, at least with my listing. 

We have almost always just dealt with the listing agent (LA) on deals we have done (40+) or deal directly with the seller.

I am unclear why you would need the majority of the stuff you listed out - but that's just my opinion on it from personal experience. 

For marketing, best practices are:+listed it on two sites, one of which is Airbnb and the other is a long-term unfurnished site like Zillow, Turbo Tenant or Avail (people convert well on those sites)+Write the listing broad and avoid any preference for traveling nurses, medical professionals, insurance folks, etc.

I find that craigslist and FB market place is where the scammers list properties. 

When I self-managed C Class properties, I would put the requirements for tenancy in the rental listing (3x rent in income, 1-month security deposit, criminal check, etc.), and then when the potential tenants called in, I would speak to them for a few minutes, explain the requirements, get some sort of verbal confirmation on some or all of the requirements, and then invite them to different showing times I had set up.

I listed this house well into the winter holidays and was getting a bit restless that I wasn't getting much action on it.
