If you must, get video because with video someone can slowly pan across and capture almost every surface.

Any tips, videos or ideas anyone could suggest to help us make our first move possibly a step towards investing in real estate? 

I find short videos are the best way. 

So far it's been great, I was very nervous at first but I found great info in the forums and youtube videos that helped me take the first steps.

Check out Simon Sinek’s video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I guess people need to make notes  and read books and  see Youtube videos and then target a  few markets and then use zillow  etc to see long term appreciation etc and then formulate who they want to team up with to start the journey..

Take a video as you enter and walk through the property and narrate what you see!

The median price for my market Milwaukee is $225,000 (which BTW has doubled in the last 9 years), so anything below is C and anything below half the median (112k) is D.I pulled numbers yesterday on every neighborhood for my next YouTube video and we have seen the highest % of median sales price increase YTD (the closest thing we have to measure appreciation) and the best neighborhoods are seeing the highest % - even though their median sales price is already the highest.You can map that out by simply putting a hypothetical portfolio in the BP rental calculator and see what happens after 10 years to a cash flow portfolio or an appreciation portfolio.
