Go to my profile, scroll down and download my how to buy high performing rentals file on the right to learn all of my tips.If you don';t educate yourself on visualizing what a great tenant wants and buy what they want you';ll end up buying what is 'cheap" and end up hating every second of managing those properties.I'm experienced and successful yet am going to David Tilney's training this weekend in FL to learn yet more about landlording.  

While we are working full time jobs, we want to do additional consulting work on the side for smaller residential projects, (we're being careful to avoid a conflict of interest situation with our employers), where we would provide complete electrical design packages (issued for construction) and work with the local AHJ through the permitting, construction, and inspection process.I like the idea because I'll be involved in the real estate market segment that I am interested to invest in the future.I'm trying to visualize who our customers and target market would be.

Because of this, home gets only 6 offers instead of 10, because buyers don't like the home with all the junk in it (and owner has a TON of junk) buyers can't visualize themselves in the new home and thus, less offers are received and home sells for 1.9M instead of $2M.

I contacted the listing agent, who said I can make an offer contingent upon an internal visual inspection.

It wasn't particularly useful to track projects, but functioned as a visual aid to communicate project timelines to clients.I would love a more functional tool, I'll give Agantty a try.

GOAL:  Increase property/neighborhood value through improving visual appeal and quality of renters across the street.

Hard to give an answer on this without visual.

Van Ness Ave dropped off market and would be a great deal once rents catch up to the price.Best of luck to all.

So if you know where you're looking and can visualize a rough outline of the lot you can find the APN.
