The last few properties we have put on the market went under contract in under a week with multiple offers but they were priced right, were inline with the area but were done with quality and were in desirable areas.Unless you are dealing in a low-end market, a home warranty should be a standard inclusion especially for first time home buyers. 

@Ryan McCann If your location is right, the market not too busy, and you offer something good you should have no trouble.

Did the installer do a bad job or as Greg suggested, did the tenants do something to mess it up? 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

If the property has not received a lot of attention is it worth submitting an offer below asking? 

They may suggest performing a ruse on them to trap them into showing its a scam with police monitoring.

I'd suggest doing the same!

Just signed on my first offer and I got a couple questions / thoughtsHouse Hacking ...

The other big issue about being an "investor-friendly" agent is that investors expect the agent to chase their tail by driving around looking at every potential home the investor sees on Zillow and then make a bajillion low-ball offers for them "just to see if they stick".

Any suggestions on which method is a better way to furnish a rental property?
