The top 3 marketing methods that work in most markets are:1) Google AdWords (paid search, NOT any type of display including Facebook display ads)2) Direct Mail (especially to absentees with more than 40% equity)3) Outdoor (billboards and other types of signs or outdoor displays)

I enjoy many outdoor activities (running, biking, surfing, and skiing) as well as traveling.  

Its my understanding that if the building (100 condo's) burnt to the ground the HOA Insurance will pay for the rebuild of the building and my policy covers from the drywall in...floors, appliances..furniture etc.

You pay to live here and you really have to want to live here to make it worth it.If you love Galveston and the water, fishing, being outdoors, then yes, move here, find a duplex that will pay your mortgage and enjoy.  

I am searching for some quantification ideas that I don't have to take my tape measure and fo manual calcs, seems that this is the answer, the software seems like a dream come true, with all furnitures, plumbing, electrical templates, just like autocad but lighter. any inputs is greatly appreciated.

Full-timers want more storage, will start to accumulate plants, outdoor furniture and anything else you will let them keep around their RVs.  

Your end buyer will tell you their buying criteria.Your end buyer can give you contracts they use and who they use to close.After knowing that, create a way for the seller to contact you before you start mailing out (door hangers, flyers, post it notes that say something like " i want to buy your house"), then use a script to which you can filter out results between motivated and maybe motivated.  

Also we had a laundry room door that was overall in good condition but had some normal wear and tear at the bottom, well they must of decided they didn't like the door so they stored it in the outdoor building all year and its covered in dirt and mildew.

SEE WHAT OTHERS MISS # 2: Columbo would look through pictures of a home and see old furniture of a well cared for home.

I won't have to move all my furniture out, as though I was renting the whole house to a family.
