And, if she says she can't do that for me, then I will find a new agent.Do you also recommend paying my agent a small bonus if someone else finds a quality tenant for me on MLS?

I have been buying non performing loans for many years and our firm specializes in cleaning these situations up.

However, they only paid $600/mo. at their last place so I'm not sure if they will be able to keep this up.Then one of the two remaining tenants sent me an email hinting indirectly about what would happen to the security deposit if they had to move out before the end of the lease.I am thinking of two options:1) telling them I will let them out of the lease early if they stay at least until January 1st (so I don't have to deal with the holiday vacancy problem) and stay current on the rent until then, and I will give them back the deposit if the place is in broom clean, undamaged condition, as per the lease.2) lower the rent to $800 to keep them there (I haven't had any real issues with the two remaining people, and they are taking good care of the place).

If there is low inventory and you have a quality product then you will get multiple offers- All regular sellers are waiting till spring why wait on the competition.

It's all about the quality of your tenants or contract buyers.

I have one rental with a pool, I don't like the pool company I had used, and the pump was out, so I bought a pump online and called a plumber I use for small jobs,,,he doesn't speak english and I don't speak spanish.I showed him what we needed to do to plumb the pump,,he started and I left,,when I got back later I noticed he had run the pipe differently than it was before, but everything worked fine.A day or two later I was over trying to get the pool in better shape (since the pump was out a few days it had greened up),,when I went to clean the basket on the intake side of the pump, I realized the way he ran the plumbing, there was no way to get it out,,,he ran a line over the top,,you can open it, but no room to pull the basket out,,,so I just cleaned out the basket by hand and told the tenants that was how it was done,,,they didn't know the difference

It seems people would be forced to downgrade to lower quality/lower priced rentals.

Poorer, lower-quality areas.The home I'm buying is projected at 1.8% and it's definitely not a war zone (come on, it's Utah!).

Some title agents will assist you with cleaning these issues up and some will ask you to do it.

I found an awesome company with incredibly high-quality printing that I want to start using.Who wants some swag?
