Driving for Dollars-Identifying Addresses

Posted

Hello. I wanted to start driving for dollars. I enjoy driving and I like looking at houses. It seems like a great match. Is there an app or way to determine what address homes are at? I know that I can look at numbers and streets, but some homes are hard to tell.

Quote from @Kevin Sobilo:

@Matthew Novelli, I wouldn't think too much about something so simple. You should know what street you are cruising down, if not your GPS will tell you that. When it comes to the number if it isn't clear, write down a house number you can see and a clear direction. For example "Green house to the left of 123 Main St". You can easily identify the house later from that using other resources like google street view or your county's GIS mapping software.

I recommend driving for dollar early in the morning when other people aren't out and about yet. If the house looks vacant you can go walk around the outside at minimum and document what you see in terms of condition etc without arousing attention from neighbors etc. 


 Thanks for the tips. I'm going to get in the truck this week and see what's out there. I've seen quite a few houses in my town that I want to check out.
