You can focus on having the best listing so everyone who is looking wants to stay there (30 days out or more) and look at the next few weeks ahead as they come, no reason to make it over complicated. 

You're ahead of the game. 

I'm assuming calling ahead of time is the go-to but I don't have their phone numbers.

Requests are processed in the order they come in, but the level of priority bumps it ahead of all other items in the lower categories.

Paying too much up front (more than enough for initial materials or a small percentage), not holding them to at least a generalized timeline, or paying ahead of any work can all get you into trouble.

I've got a power couple sitting at the 16th property mark right now because we planned ahead and always got loans in the name of only one spouse. 

I feel bad making someone pay for a background/credit check when they have 3 or 4 people ahead of them that would need to fail something for them to even have a chance at the property. 

As far as I know, it's still going ahead.

This obviously might not make sense on a 25% match (though you'd still be at least 5-10% ahead vs. just adding the money to your paycheck), but if your company happened to match 100%+ (which many do) then you could still get great guaranteed returns after paying penalties/taxes.Regarding an impending crash, I wouldn't put much stock in such commentary.  

@Aaron Bry welcome to BP, you're definitely ahead of most individuals your age including myself at 27.
