How to hit every street in a town efficiently? Drive for Dollars

[Kevin Moules]

Hello BP community, you guys/gals are awesome! I come here when I need guidance and answers. As of 2 weeks ago I quit my W-2 job after 7 years. I am now going to go full time with my handyman business and real estate investing. My wife and I are currently finishing our first flip and will be listed by weeks end. That being said my local area has opportunity for more flips and possibly BRRRR deals if I can get a low enough price.

My plan is to drive for dollars in 3 neighboring towns that have populations of about 6k each and then driving my own city with about 72k population. The 3 towns are highly desirable locations to live and inventory is low. So I believe there to be potential. I know DFD does not scale, but by driving I will become intimate with each town. Also, as a benefit of my handyman business I will always be driving so I can keep my investor eye out as well for places.

The question is, how would you go about driving every street in a small town efficiently? Any apps out there that would give you every street in a town that you could cross off as you drive them?

My best thought at the moment is to get a paper map of these towns and highlight streets as I drive them to make sure I drive every street. Old school I know but thats all I can think of right now. Google maps shows the streets but I do not know if I can cross them off somehow. I understand this process will be a snapshot in time and there will be run down properties a year from now but DFD is a good way to start without spending a lot of money on mailers to a list. Its also laser focused on poor looking properties.

Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions!
