Marc,  Our lease states we cans show the property during the notice interval, and access by the landlord is authorized for showings and inspections.The first step is to visit the property to "preview" it for the marketing, and you can note any big issues that may delay occupancy, and even stress to the residents what they could be docked for.I always tell the residents to protect their valuables because its hard to track other people's children during showings, and the more they cooperate and the faster the house leases, the less time they have to tolerate showings.I've had perfect houses occupied the next day.I've had disasters that need  six weeks to prepare.With this effort and a mid-lease maintenance inspection, there are fewer surprises.

Once you know the area, and want to dig deeper - visit your local REIA - attend the meetings, you can even watch youtube videos ( with a lot of "views" - not smaller cheap looking stuff) that pertains to your market.
