Best strategy for listing?

[Justin Dziedzic]

Hey all, I close on my first deal this Friday and I can thank you all for the guidance and encouragement that you have provided me for helping out the process. 

That said, I'll explain my situation and why I'm asking the best timing in when to list the rental. The current owner will be vacating end of May and I would like to have a tenant in by July. The issue is that the current owner is a smoker and smokes inside the residence. So, when she moves out, I will be ripping out the carpets, painting with odor block primer, and ozone-ing the whole property. My question is would you list now so as to line up a good candidate pool, or would you wait until it is show ready without the odor, ideally mid-June?

There is no harm in listing it with a note that says it will be available on Day XXXXX. In my market I wouldn't really have anyone willing to wait for a rental as most people want it immediately but it may work out to put it on the market sooner. 

I see no harm in it

Best of luck!!
