No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.

We live in Lakeland, TN 20 miles from the Blue Oval site and I recently had a new BO employee rent one of my homes with a potential to sell in the Spring/Summer of next year.

I own a duplex property (I do not live on site) and I'm renting out the 2 bed/1 bath back house.

I think this site may be geared a bit more toward the avid investor, rather that the weekend warrior type of investors with regular, RE carriersOn the other hand, for myself, watching the RE market is enjoyable for me.I have always attended open houses just to be nosey or nerdy, whichever you prefer. 

I couldn't find anything too specific on the site.

Thanks Ashley, there’s a lot of information on this site and trying to absorb it all.

Would be nice if about us pages on these sites, were a little more detailed with photos of who is behind the company.

Our site is RIDICULOUSLY sensitive to spam.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

I am aware of Crexi, Bizbuysell, and Loopnet and reach out when I see something for sale on those sites.
