I open up 3 months, early December isn't booking right now, but folks are filling in the Sun-Tuesday dates.

Since your closing date will be looming closer and closer, you will have to gather your docs and respond as quickly as possible. 

You should take to multiple lenders and see how the approach differs between banks and what is consistent between the banksAlso - Most banks will require an executed lease on the "old" primary residence turned rental to prove it's rented out or going to be rented out by a certain date before you can close on your new 2nd primary residence loan. 

If her lease ended the 30th of the month she has until 12:00 midnight to surrender keys; however your lease may indicate that keys need to be surrendered @ a certain time on lease end date.

Are there any property management softwares that do not promote other companies in their app or website for the renter?

They come in, see the house, fill out an app right then and there, or go back home?

I always get their insurance and licenses to be sure they are up to date. 

@Sammie Baker - if you're using conventional financing (FNMA/FHLMC) you are required to have a 6mo seasoning period between acquisition date (deed) and the new note date (closing). 

The previous owner mostly took care of the outside, but the interior is pretty dated and there are a lot of little things to do.

On 3 separate occasions, the appraiser gave me their word that I would have the appraisal back by a selected date.
