The right answer usually depends on a dynamic set of factors that are constantly changing.

The applicable organization, the dynamic of the surrounding neighborhood, and other factors will determine how difficult the process is.

Unless you're willing to spend some $$ to run cameras down drains, cut holes in walls / ceilings, etc.. there's only so much you can figure out with a visual inspection.

It sounds crazy my friend, but once you start visualizing with a crystal clear vision, the types of deals you are looking for will start to show up.

LOLI don't begrudge people who put out "bandit signs" or any other signs which visually pollute neighborhoods.

Take pictures of the meter reading with your phone, so there's a visual record.

Even if you tell yourself and your partner that you will be keeping things "strictly business", in reality personal matters will sometimes leak into business and vice-versa.I truly believe that you wont be able to find out how the dynamic will go between you two until you try working together.

Visually looking just south of Nashua as I drive the country back roads back and forth to Devens everyday.

There are 3 additions off the original log cabin which I did inspect but the original log structure couldn't be visually seen.

If every so often you just write down or type out your goals it helps you visualize them.
