Sometimes we have to add colored dye to the system to try and visually locate the leak.

If there is visual damaged observed, then you definitely need to have that further looked at as that could be a significant structural issue now, or in the future. 

In June I started to write every expense I spend down in my phone and every month end I am entering it into an excel sheet to 1. give me a visual of my over all expenses per month 2.

Can this be a visual aid in communicating to your realtor what you are willing to pay for a property or is it not a good idea to tell your realtor what your max budget or bottom line offer is prior to submitting the initial offer to the seller?

This is what I see and feel where the markets are moving to from visually seeing everything the past 3.5 months. 

I am more of a visual person, so I thought I could have a document I could constantly refer to (I would be more than happy to share the PDF via DM). 

haha definitely a visual learner @Ronald Rohde Gotchya, makes perfect sense as well. 

So he was able to help me visualize and get ballpark ideas of rehab costs, time, and local going rental rates.

There's also the boards with a lot screws and nails sticking up on the inside of windows as a visual (ouch).

I'm a very visual, hands-on, and auditory learner, and I've been kicking this around.
