The BP platform is great however, I am a visual learner; actual deals.

To actually visualize our future together, holistically, what most people call : LIFE STYLE. that will include you, your spouce, your minds, your bodies, your location, your time, the stuff you have, the people around you,the rest of the worldwhat are ALL the relationship between these elements?? 

I curiously looked at Milwaukee and the prices seem way cheaper although most of the multiunit housing doesn't look at great visually.

It's the best part for a visual creative type in this industry.

@Rick Alvi I wrote a post on my website/blog about this last year and created a pretty cool visual.

The dark stain--which looks great on the deck--makes them visually go away, even given the contrast against the white siding.I would do the exact same treatment on the back porch, with one railing and newel post.Stair builders or maybe even a local cabinet shop would be your source, and shouldn't be expensive at all, since it's all stock materials.

Often times (RECs) Recognized Environmental Conditions , won't be things that would be seen from a visual inspection.  

I know you will not like to spend another 100-150 bucks on this, but there are bed-bug sniffing dogs that are supposedly much more reliable than just a visual inspection by the Orkin man.  

I just spent last Wednesday with a visual evaluation of rental prices in the south bay.

In addition to real estate investing I have been a life long visual artist (mostly drawing for self fulfillment, and occasionally on a commission basis).
