The Lynchburg web site shows no property owned by KC Realty or Lamont Jones. 

Usually you see signs on the outside ground level, up in the attic or in crawl spaces.  

Did a lot of research and actually developed a couple web scrapers with the goal of finding under-valued military properties.Never amounted to much as we don't have teams or a presence near any bases.

I would add that with the wealth of information on the web, you can practice just about everything, up to the point of going through with the purchase.Pick a market, and start farming it remotely.

Visualization of all attic and crawl spaces is coming down the pipe.If you re-analyze the value using more recent comps, what value do you get?

I have experience with registering a business (I own a small web design firm) and was planning on doing this here as well.

I found the HUD web site for you.

I'm renovating a 1970s 1600 sq foot rambler that needs all new duct work in crawl space and a 3 ton package unit.  

Turns out the old version of IE on my office computer doesn't work well with this web site!  

Those places with the smaller splits can offer to train you, they offer free company cards, free professional photographer services, free web program access that will help market your business, etc.
