I think part of this is market dynamics as the market in GR is so hot right now, but I definitely need to give credit to United as well because they were really on the ball. 

People are visual beings and are more inclined to make an offer based on what they actually see as oppose to the potential.

What if some of them don’t have good systems so they do one week minimums, or have a day or two buffer between guests, or don’t use dynamic pricing?

A better way to visualize the strategy is to do exactly what @Jeremy Z. said.

I haven't sent that to her, I can just visualize her head exploding when she sees it. 

This is in the town of Paradise CA and all properties are on septic which the seller must get inspected and clearance received- if no clearance, they must install a new one.The kitchens were all in good condition as well as the bathrooms, again that is my visual and some of the tenants input.Not sure on the loan, it is a bank loan and while not finalized, I have been questimating 4.5%Two of the units have small yards and in my opinion after having been watching rentals, are underpriced for rentals right now.

We should start to see the real market dynamics.

The dynamic of an auction also presents an urgency that can lead someone to an emotional FOMO (high) offer.
