Two landlords in town tell me they go all electric for the reasons discussed on these forums (one bill for tenant, one sec deposit, etc).My HVAC guy tells me 1-2 of the bedrooms will be difficult to maintain warmth and the cost to heat will be very expensive for electricity.

I have always been fascinated with RE and have decided this is the time to start investing as the timing just seems right for us. 

I am glad to have a forum to discuss scenarios and ideas in addition to networking.

First off, they are misusing the term "pocked listing" as to real estate terms, it's buzz, no big deal, but know a pocket listing is generally illegal by RE Commission regs, where an agent simply holds the listing contract and doesn't actively work it until they come across a potential buyer, they keep the listing in their pocket.I do not advise newbies to use a listing agent to buy, in a dual agency (which was misguided in that video) the listing agent represents the seller not the buyer.
