Boots on the Ground

[Account Closed]

I just finished listening to the podcast with Michael Quarles about direct mail. In that conversation, he mentioned that when you are checking out property, nothing beats "boots on the ground." I think he also mentioned that having somebody do that for you (if you are an out-of-town investor) is wise.

My question is - does everyone else feel this way? If you were to have someone check out a property for you, what would be the things you would have them do? What things do you wish they would do?

As an appraiser, I know what my list is - but I want yours...I want to get inside your head and think like an investor.
