After I read that Donald Trump bought low in Manhatten and visualized the possibilities and he realized the geographic realities of limited horizontal building prospects and the downturn in the 70's, he was off to the races, I decided to buy low cost condos in San Diego.If you are just starting out or just have a few investment properties or have experienced a wake up call that your economic ladder is leaning on the wrong building, then this is written for you!!

It isn't like paint or flooring where you could have DIYs that buy the house because of some visual wear-and-tear.

I think at this point, you're right, we really have to help a higher quality tenant visualize the opportunity of this space.

@Alexander ZeisbergI can almost visualize you pronouncing my name.

The other thing people in real estate seem to have in common, is that entrepreneurial spirit- that zest to be able to visualize something, not just see the obstacles but see beyond them to the possibilities. 

I also recommend and use Trello, a free web site that lets you organize your leads in a visual way and create a sales pipeline arrangement if you like.  

As some of you may disagree, real estate or Julie is impacted and is a visual environment.

I had to do visual inspections of the pipes and electrical system.

Really depends on you but think about it in one deal you could potentially double your money if bought for the right price in less than one year.I hope i was able to both visually and financially paint these two scenarios for you.Either way congratulations on wanting to make the first step into the industry best of luck !

Breaking it down into bite size to get it done is very visual.
