The 2-4 day lag might just be in my area (not sure if it would be region-specific) and it may not be the case 100% of the time, but it does seem to be the trend.As for sales, though, I'm not really sure what the lag is since I haven't really monitored it.  

When my wife and I rented, we appreciated houses/apartments that trusted us to have our dogs.As a future landlord, I would like to extend this to my tenants.However, I do intend to charge a premium for this privilege....

@Jennifer Tan are you giving up Toronto flips and moving on to conquer Pickering?

We are accountants ready to buy & hold SFH and multifamilies in the capital region.

Do open houses, if none in your office, do them for agents in other offices if you are part of a national or regional company. 

If it were me, going into a new area (both business-wise and region-wise) then I would absolutely get a broker who specialized in that sort of deal, in that part of the country, to work with me.

On about the 4th day, I made the appointments.Over the next week, I wrote more business than any agent in the southeastern region of the country, cities like Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, Little Rock or anything east of the big muddy south of Atlanta, all out of one small town housing development.

To get my feet wet outside of the family, I'm currently working in property management for a local, regional REIT that specializes in class A commercial space, but has a small residential portfolio.I'll be looking to start purchasing rental properties in the Tampa area probably around the start of 2016, as I have a few GC connections (father-in-law is a fairly successful GC) out there able to assist me in renovations, repairs and maintenance.

However, when you get to Little Rock, my assumption is it makes a transition to the softer Delta region soil and clay caused by the Mississippi.

Is this a municipal program for Leominster or a wider regional/county/state initiative?
