As we are discussing social networking I wanted to give you a heads up.

It was early, so I decided to go ahead and try to market the house to my current buyers list via e-blast.I wanted to see if there was any interest in the house and the numbers I had come up with.I would tell you that it is ok to market the house before it's under contract, but I would make sure of 2 things first.

The lists are four weeks ahead of time so you have a good amount of time to drive by the properties.

I have a property that I've talked with my agent about listing and he has informed me that he has a list of buyers that could send it to ahead of listing.

Granted, the neighborhood wasn`t great(Mastic/Shirley area), but I would`ve beenwaaay ahead of the game.

just to let everyone know i went ahead and did the pex.

You're many steps ahead of someone with no experience, so you're well on your way!

You would be farther ahead to sell and reinvest in a more investor friendly property.

Cold weather heat pumps use better (scroll) compressors with inverters to reduce the frequency of thaw cycles.One of the most promising newer ideas for cold-weather is a Canadian designed heat-pump where the compressor sits inside and just the coil and fan assembly sites outside ... this eliminates the freeze up and allows prolonged operation at low (sub-freezing) temperatures.Even in our nasty winters where we will have a week or two where temperatures do not climb above -20C and we are reliant on ancillary heat, the heat pump still comes out ahead over the entire heating season.  

Thanks ahead of time for your input.
