Most of the time, people who have never even made an offer end up with 2-3 submitted LOIs in the first 1-2 weeks, and we celebrate small victories like that to build momentum and confidence. 

I have a situation where a person I know is moving out of the country and would be looking to put their home for sale in the summer.

The spring and summer usually have a shorter leasing time of 15-25 days. 

A lot of people find those lot to build on in their retirement, and in between use them as vacation spots in summer.

As it relates to lease end dates I've seen two things work here. 1) You can stagger end dates as mentioned above or 2) you can optimize for summer - this works better for us in areas where you see students or families with school age children moving to align with the summmer months.Separately, this is a great argument against month-to-month leases.  

Several were fully permitted and never developed because there were no buyers for the energy at the cost that was needed for the private companies to make a profit--and this was in a state with rolling blackouts during the summer.
