@Michael TorkuDefinitely recommend investing driving distance to you: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...

Need to buy Class A assets in cities where there is demand and population growth and  also diverse industries to drive job growth..or  buy in a  barrier island where there is no more land which can built upon

Any excuse you give (you SHOULDN'T) will be met with challenge, bargaining, threats and sob stories.These people are wasting your time and driving away other customers in your business, and making trouble for you with the municipality, to boot.You're also being too soft and they can smell it on you. 

That's one heck of a drive and I'm currently in the military with two little kids.

Typically, these are families looking to ensure the property is within the desired school district and driving distance.

There's a shared drive on google where the monthly reports were supposed to go but they stopped updating this year.

Has tarps to covering it since.Photos:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1--sh-4uJGyxEnVJZ3Ixhty-o5mF02HMhPM me if interested.

You can get a credit union to do a drive by appraisal for a HELOC and the brokers can tell you prior what it will appraise for and you probably dont have to pay for the appraisal. 

The presence of other prospects can drive home a sense of urgency in those who do show up, and hopefully one or more will meet your screening requirements.Best of luck!

What I can tell you is that if you drive around Springfield you will see a lot road construction going on.
