If you know you average booking lead time you can be more, knowledgeable about when to make adjustments or when to be patient.

@Alex Smith - the key is to be patient.  

If you were checking the market weekly, you would know approximately how long properties are taking to rent, which properties are renting and which aren't, pricing strategies, and more.If you dropped the price and it's still not renting, then your price is still too high or you need to be more patient.

This indicates that buyers are taking their time to make decisions, so sellers need to be patient and persistent.

Buying a foreclosure property expect that it is going to need some significant work to get it sellable - so consider it a fix and flip.Not seeing too many short sales today but be patient as they can take a long timeIf you are starting out, it depends on your level of risk as mls I would consider lower risk than foreclosure since you can actually see the property

Please be patient with me.

Have your standard Home/Hazard insurance on the property and your personnal "umbrella" policy for liability.The company itself will be required to maintain their own insurance and each patient/resident under their care will sign a contract with that company, not with you as the property owner.I have a 5 br home in Oahu, HI leased out for the next 3 years to a residential assisted living facility above FMV rent.Biggest thing is making sure that the company does THEIR DUE DILIGENCE in pulling the permits and making any changes to the home in order to comply with the state regulations.

Pretty much every listing agent I’ve contacted on my own has picked up immediately or called back within the hour so I’m wondering if I should just go without the buyers agent or to be patient.

We will be patient with the primary property and watch for better rates.

Just like with stocks though you need to be strategic and patient.
