@Joseph ODonovan Because both units were tenant occupied at the time I was only able to conduct a visual inspection of the exterior of the property (which unfortunately didn't include the roof). 

LOLWe are now in a position to self lend for new acquisitions and love the bus(y) ness of the real estate transaction.

I learned that if you follow your dreams and you can visualize them it's just a matter of time before they become a reality.The challenge was obtaining financing for the remaining amount for rural vacant land.

The white towel/linen racks in the linen closest had a visual yellow stain on one of the lower racks. 

This will help you visualize where you have open space to do RE stuff.I also had a commute that took 45 minutes each way so I used that time to listen to podcasts, audio books, call people, etc.Then, I STOPPED using to-do lists or task lists.

Hello folksI am looking at what seems to be a nice opportunity in xome.com but never done any auction before so I have my reserves I hope you can help me clear.Viewing and Inspections: Can these houses be visually inspected/visited?

You send a licensed inspector to verify items done (and a mere visual confirmation that nothing looks contrary to code, but no digging or pulling up items). 

If you visualize a BMW X5.

And......visual wholesaling BS. 

The reason is because I live in a very expensive market, and am therefore looking to purchase properties outside of my market.I plan to know as much about the property as possible before putting it under contract, including:Having a local agent walk through the property and send me a detailed video & photosHave a general contractor walk through the property and provide a repair estimate (along with photos of all items that will need to be fixed so I have a visual reference)Are there any other tips you would recommend?
