Need advice re: driving for dollars

[Marlene Michael]

I plan to enlist the help of some friends to find vacant/abandoned properties. I would like to give them a form to use when they find a property which will include:

-property address

-approx. sq footage/number of stories

-additional buildings on property (sheds, garages, etc)

- Condition of other homes in neighborhood

-pics of front and back (if possible)

-pics of houses on left/right

And that where I get stuck! What else do I need to include? Also, should I draw up a contract between myself and them regarding their finders fee if I close on a deal?
