I say we keep on keeping on and don’t give up...And visualize success!

Hi Jorge,If it were me I'd:Ask for 5 (yes 5) referral phone numbers of clients they have had for 3 or more years.Call each of them and ask about the service they receive and if they think it's worth it.Ask each phone call person the address of their rentals, and go visit them to see what they look like.It's always a good idea to Vet contractors visually as well as verbally.Good Luck!

The zoning officer actually told me she cannot confirm the 3-family status of the property until she visually inspects it....

I'd get the engineer report, and ask the engineer to provide (in addition to the report) a drawing so you can visualize (since you are not there) with what he/she would do, and photos if you don't have any currently.

For a very visual learner like me that likes to look at pictures, creating a map and plotting the major developments, grocery stores, StarBucks, shopping facilities, best schools, median household incomes etc... of an area opens up 50-60% of the story for you straight off the bat.

I am looking to understand the cost of different jobs, and this is a great example where I can visualize the changes through your photo's, and map them back to a spreadsheet.

I keep things very simple with these deals and make "job aids" so the seller can visual what's happening...and I use a 1-page contract that my title company is familiar with...one benefit is the access to data...so, I can show the seller what's going on in the market and how I am valuing their property. 

I have one my welder trips regularly that does not visually appear to be tripped but is always is.

Not to say I wouldn't be open to the idea but visually I just cant see a configuration that gives the current rent price I'm shooting for besides the duplex model. 

The answer needs to be clear and make it so you can visualize it every day so it be of constant thought to what drives to do this.
