Steve Cavannaugh was the guest speaker and was dynamic as well as informative.

here in baltimore there are a ton of rough neighborhoods, I frequently go through them when looking at deals, and lots of investors gobble up cheap houses in them.I was tossing around the idea of starting a field services service where I would take pictures of the entire property, do a written report of the condition (not inspection) just visual writeup.

Release all tension and thought Then feel your inner body from head to toe and quietly visual some specific detail about what you want to accomplish that gives you joy.

I do not know the full extent as of right now, doing a visual inspection today.Does anyone have suggestions or opposition to this kind of project?

Just to understand the dynamics in whatever market you choose to invest in..

Cash flow statements are sent to me annually and all of my properties are visually inspected by myself at least twice a year.Please don't take my questions in a bad way but I see a lot of out of state RE investors buy out here and then just look at there operating reports from their PM's and forget to  consider what the appearance of the property, inside and out, may look like 2 yrs later. 

@Jordan Hanksion I don't care what no one says visually zillow is the besting out there. if your area has a lot of sales and you filter it right. it is pretty close.

But to address your window question, I dont think most home buyers care about brand, its more about visual appeal of the house, which the window effect that.  

George us long gone and the books are out of print but occassiobal sold on eBay and Amazon.Laws, both State and Federal, are dynamic and must be monitored constantly. 

 - Foundation (pier and beam house) - need to level the subfloor, no major cracks - Painter- Carpet/tile- Prefab cabinets and counter- Windows (one is a cracked pane that I'm hoping can just be replaced and other is bathroom and I'm thinking we can use a little decorative window there to give it visual interest and it explains why it would look different from the rest)- Tile in kitchen, carpet in bedroomsWhat are your thoughts on using Home Depot for some of this stuff?
