You need to massage your criteria a little bit to get in the game while pricing is good and debt is cheap.

I was wondering if anyone used a 5-10 slide presentation to have something physical to show to potential sellers to enhance the credibility of the investor?

Is there money to help us with these repairs/enhancements if they are required?

The last thing I need to do as a first time investor is massage the #s to get a house and end up losing money or doing it for free...I will hang and there and keep making offers...I'm going to try to get my real estate license in the next few months so I can start viewing houses on my own time and getting access to the MLS to streamline the process...Right now I wait on input on recent comparable sales, wait to view the property and wait to make the offer...it just takes too much time...I feel if I was an agent I would be viewing 15+ homes a week and making several offers per week.

Most of the other websites are working on enhancing their sites but they still have a ways to go.Website Ease of Use as it relates to investing---Of all the sites, I think Patch of Land has the smoothest process for signing up, transferring money, and executing paperwork.

Think about future enhancements that can bring in leads.

These are both extremely useful sites as the state site can forward you to numerous places like the dbpr (department of business and professional regulations) where you can do professional license searches, (for example, a great place for locating a seller that has a professional license, i.e. a massage therapist or a hair stylist, or a real estate agent, they all would be listed here)  You can also find the link to your Secretary of State, also a great place to skip trace if your seller/buyer is an investor or biz owner.  

The types of improvements include, zone changes, approvals for a building lot, subdividing, land enhancements (access drives, viewscapes, & beautification), free cuts, merging of title and conservation tax easements, to name a few.Once you have a land parcel targeted, there is another major step involved which is the Purchase Agreement or Option.

In addition, the filters allow you to enhance images, crop, or even brighten/darken images.

I don't think anyone thinks they will take Uber type share quickly but 5% seems like a decent deal for peace of mind and to not have to do too much in terms of repairs etc. just to enhance curb appeal if the seller even knows what to do.
