Most of who I've spoke to so far are spec home or cookie cutter builders.

We decided to do spec  new construction.

Is this for buy and hold or spec?

I was trying out a battery powered one (smaller lot) and left it.

I don't like battery operated cameras.

Worth the extra money in my opinion and just need 4 batteries every year or two. 

I don’t recommend the handheld battery powered sprayers for many things other than very small projects.  

This new unit with a similar floor plan and specs just became available and is going for $2500 which is way below it's zillow rent estimate.

I started this project hoping i could efficiently review the most amount of properties in order to maximize the potential investment options to bid at auction....this is what I have so far.First thing i did was to create the listings, I matched the properties been auctioned with their corresponding pics and the property specs (rooms, size, floors etc.).Second, for each property I automated the data collection process from public records and created a report with: Foreclosure info, owner info, taxes data, liens including mortgages , satisfaction of mortgages,  assigments, violations and permits and court dockets.This data is updated daily to capture new filings (specially the dockets to capture bk and motions to cancel sales)Now that i have the data i can apply my personal "preferences" to go through the report and in a few minutes discard  properties that have certain attributes I "dislike". 

Are there any lenders in the DFW area that are lending on spec houses?
