Another interesting way to make $ in RE??

Ok, so I was scanning Craigslist and came across an ad that basically went like this.

"Are you an out of town investor? Want to buy property but don't want to jump on a plane in order to see it? Let me help you! For $75 I will view the property and take a ton of photos to show to you. I will also give you my opinion (if you want it) of the condition of the property.

Don't rely on just a few RE agent photos from the listing! I will show you detailed photos of almost every square inch of the property in high resolution so you have a much better idea of what condition it is in. Please note that I am not a RE agent."

I thought this was actually a pretty neat idea and quite a business prospect for someone. Think about it...all they would need to do is schedule a showing, take a TON of photos, upload them to a web site where the potential buyer and view and make $ doing it. If they were in a popular buying area they might do 2 walk throughs a week. Not too shabby little side income. Plus you wouldn't have to be a RE agent as it would just be a service.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass this along and maybe it will spur someone's creative juices on here. I'd do it but I don't know if there are investors that want to invest in our area or not. If so give me a hollar...I take Paypal LOL!

Let's not make this more than it is guys. This seems like a fine service for this guy to provide in trade for a little money. I am sure he isn't claiming to be a structural engineer or anything.

Geez!
