You want to visually inspect for leaking or rust. 

You could, for example , load your mailing list into the add on for a visual of your farm.

What are some alternative sites to get visuals of the properties.

Obviously a visual inspection is needed, but beyond that, what else is recommended and how do I find that information?

I visualize this entire forum page as a mentorship group.

Not pretty but it helped me visualize my target territory.

And on other side of that coin, I have seen SOOOoooo many investor sites with atrocious visual impact, easily 98%+ if not 99.8%+, and then content up the wazooooo.

You're right, if hardships could help avoid eviction, there would be no rental property business.If you would post a picture of yourself, I could complete that visual of you kicking that mama with a screaming baby to the curb.

However, I can say I successfully wholesale across the country - and I didn't have to take a course on virtual wholesaling to figure it out.There are TONS of internet tools to allow you to do research on properties, communicate visually with sellers, etc.

You will fail at some point, but it's through these failures that you become the man that you always visualized yourself to be.
