I will be posting photos and videos as I go along, as I know how much everyone loves to watch the visual transformation of a project ( I know I do ).The first step is to wait for transfer date and hope that the druggie tenant decides to move out and not cause any problems.

Everything thus far has been visual from online and drive by-s.I can stick with a regular buy and hold (which I still plan to do as I grow my portfolio) but love the idea of infinity returns being able to pull my initial 'down payment' out.Thoughts?

I'm more of a visual learner.

I can see where they would make a big visual difference, but the quality seemed very low and they felt very cheap.

The visuals and the character, I personally think It's an illusion especially If you are not living in the home who really cares.

It is not as visually appealing as the BP Calculator, but tells me what I need to know.

Pics are kind of dark, most pics have shadows, half cut-off in the angles, nothing is staged.I can't visualize where my furniture would go...

Please let me know if you think I have missed anything important as I am still learning what I should be looking for.http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/FivePines/file/capital-district-demographic-researchHere is some of that data in PowerPoint to help identify some of the visual trends.

I think a handy visual like that is great to help educate people where they stand.

I'm curious what is currently available out there for visualizing rental property trends in a given area by heat map in order to become more familiar with average rental rates and property values?
