Thanks to the guys who posted the visuals that came with the actual book.

My Godfather told me about the technique before that, as I had never really seen him work a regular job (like my Dad).Here's my logic:If you visualize a timeline, 80% of people in foreclosure belief the problem can be solved or that somehow it will go away.

I am a visual learned and things have to be shown for me to understand truly understand.

I think you will be able to track your results better if you just concentrate on 1 area that you know what the traffic flow is like.If you need a visual tool Traffic.com can help with your planning.Assuming you are wholesaling (I hate to assume), do you have a dialogue to say to sellers if and when you get a phone call from one of your signs?

Rentometer is helpful to visualize rent comps as close as possible to the subject property, or do a quick analysis on a neighborhood I'm not familiar with.

I'm a visual person, so no matter how many books I'd read, I knew i would only learn by going out in the field.

This could be pricy to install, but for the right property, it could completely transform the visual appeal. * I love seeing flags outside of people's houses.

I'm a visual person if I see it I can do it!

Your main concern before buying is that the buildable space on the lot will allow you to fit the home you want, plus a driveway, septic system if needed, etc.In my area an Architect would be optional and an Engineer (Professional licensed Engineer) would likely not have a role, his work already being done when the subdivision was originally platted.A surveyor's role would typically only be to use the subdivision setbacks/easement drawings which are on file at the City or County to determine the actual physical lot boundaries - and those all important easements - and set out stakes or flags so that you can visually see where your boundaries area. 

Is it possible that is was in an area that is not visually accessible ?
