Random Question - Spatial Awareness
Hey everyone – happy New Year! First post!
Bit of an eccentric question here...One challenge I face in real estate is that I am terrible at directions and spatial awareness – ie which way is North, South, etc. - when evaluating the street location and once inside real estate (East facing?, room location?, etc.).
Does anyone else have a similar problem and have you found a way to improve this? I feel like it’s a huge part of evaluating real estate and some people seem to have an innate directional ability.
Thanks for the help and looking forward to doing big things in 2017!
John
