An investor will look at 100 deals before one is worth taking a deep dive underwriting.

Hi Michelle ,Another chicagoland wholesaler here....consider building out your own list by driving for dollars or getting government lists.

A good realtor should be proactive, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with.Do they have a deep understanding of the market?

You can do this by getting call lists from sites such as PropStream or driving for dollars, writing down the addresses, and looking up the owners in the public database.

As well as the multilevel parking garage with two different drivers driving past the cable guard, one car hung on and was rescued and a few weeks later the second car actually fell 4 floors.

The building does have a nice sort of drive through driveway. 

Drive around the property and its surrounding area to get a comprehensive understanding of the location.

Hey All,I am starting a project about 2 hours away and would like to monitor the property remotely without making a 2-hour drive, so I am looking for recommendations on security cameras.

Local = no more than 30-minute drive from your home base.Yes, I mean going out and looking at the neighborhood, the property, the surrounding amenities, etc. 

Drive around a bit as well - there's still a lot of regional players in billboards if one is operating in your market chances are you'll do better with them.
