I’m trying to visualize what that looks like.

MattHi Matthew, To give you some perspective New Jersey is 8,729 sq. miles, and the Dallas-Ft Worth MMA is 9,286 sq. miles and is home to around 8 million people.It is made up of 11 counties some crime filled, some more expensive.A better way to think about this might be to narrow your thinking a bit, and research the counties to figure out which ones offer you the best fit for your particular investing profile, then take a trip there for a couple of weeks and just drive the place (Texas is NOT New Jersey).For me, the visuals in this video pretty much sum up Dallas (in a very broad sense): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I encourage everyone to think outside the box and visualize where you can make sacrifices to achieve a REI goals. 

It's something I have a knack for seeing and visualizing when looking at floor plans.

Should there be some legal standard for visual real time confirmation when signing documents?

Yearly inspections is code, and any time entering a apartment for service and equipment if it is visually seen removed or damaged it should be immediately replaced, you don't wait.

Hope that makes sense... visualize me doing air quotes if that is helpful - "no PMI." :)

A lot of it I am already doing, but I am a firm believer in visually seeing things, that repetition can help make us successful.I actually have a word document with a simplified goal for myself.

Sometimes it's hard for people to visualize how a space can be transformed when it's in shell condition.
