Driving for dollars! Day 4

Ok everyone, so as the title says this is report after day 4 of D4D.  I am new to this so take it for what its worth.

Days out D4D: 4

Miles driving:  I have not been keeping track (perhaps I should)

Hours invested: 10 +/-

Houses viewed:  Best guess around 1200 +/-

Distressed homes:  28

Pre-foreclosure homes: 2

Vacant homes: 5

Solid leads: 2  (1 lead was sold about a week before I found it. see my other post. 1 lead remains)

Using the county property look up, I check to see who owns the location and where they are. My remaining good lead is in VA and I am in IL. Turns out that the owner of the house inherited the house after his father passed away.

This is my action experience in real estate.  Clearly making progress just by getting out there.  I intend to keep posting about this all as BP has helped me a great deal already and hopefully I can offer something back!

@Eric Olsen get tracking your mileage. That is a significant business expense if you do it frequently.

Otherwise, it's nice to see you learning. Best of luck and happy investing.
