Using Google Maps To Empower Your Real Estate Hunt
One of the many mistakes I made when I previewed 100+ homes before I bought my first property was I had no reliable way to track the houses I previewed and more importantly I didn't track the condition of the neighborhoods I visited.
Now with Google's mymaps you can easily create a personalized real estate map to track all of the houses you previewed.
1. Create a new map titled "Real Estate."
2. Enter the address of a house you recently previewed.
3. List notes about the condition of the house and surrounding neighborhood.
4. If you want to get fancy, color code the pins to represent: Red - Fixer/Bad House,
Green/Offer Made - Good House
Overtime you will have a detailed map of your area so you will know exactly which neighborhoods fit your criteria and which areas to stay away from.
Happy Hunting!
