Craigslist is a hot bed of scammers so take precautions.

Hot water gets alot of people's attention.

In your situation, the right idea would've been to market the units with heat/hot water/sewer included, and factor those utilities into the rental rate.

I had a “hot” rental listing that was correctly priced as an agent with like 500 emails/texts/calls in 1 month and 5-10 applications (mostly via realtors) and either the credit scores didn’t meet owners criteria or the person had a pitbull/animal or didn’t want to move in for 6-8 weeks.1.

I don't care about the messy car, though I realize that is a hot button item for other people. 

Greenfield is pretty hot, but you can still find stuff.

Like yours, my local market is hot and I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the MLS competition.  

@Mike Nelson  I dont do double closings, because if anything goes wrong in between time with title or other matters, It puts me in the Hot seat because I was the official seller of the property to end buyer (investor) I like to assign because that keeps me out the hot seat if anything goes sour down the road, sometimes the family members lie about listing all the heirs and then it can come back later and explode.

Again, when you have valid reason certain specific properties are very hot, then yes, send them a mailer!

Extremely few areas see annual increases greater than 10% and that includes much of the super hot areas in the Bay area.
