My longest vacancy to date has only been 1 month and both times that occurred was right after a remodel (no showings until it was 100% ready to go) and during the winter.As I obtain more properties, it's harder (and admittedly less of a priority) to maintain 100% occupancy.

You could always ask the seller if it would be okay to check back with them at a later date to see if their situation changes.

I also put closing date 60 days out and state we will close sooner if needed, just like to leave room in case of issues with title.

Either everything is gone by the move out date (Friday, I assume) or I would expect rent for February on Saturday.

Completely agreed...Except for the dating and marriage proposals -- I still prefer to receive those privately...

., I already have the date for the next Black Diamond meeting blocked out on my schedule.

Just sitting here like right before a BIG motorcycle trip of a couple of months and making sure all of the screws were tightened down, battling the fear of the departure date while also just wanting to get going RIGHT NOW!.

I have had rentals for 10+yrs myself and this situation is fairly common to me but with people dating mostly.
