v=lt1PAxMBRA8 I think the most important thing for you is to really focus on what you want and visualize it.

Chris Carollo unfortunately what I'm looking for are examples of exterior renovations on these types of homes (front porch additions, gable/dormer additions, etc) and in Chicagoland in general there's very few, if any split levels (with front garage) that have significant EXTERIOR renovations.Haven't really seen the L shape split level outside of Chicagoland so not sure how else to find any visual examples of this.There's specific challenges to these homes not necessarily shared by L shaped ranches or other types of split levels.

They are only required to disclose material facts that are obviously wrong by visual observation and if it's rented out the broker may not have set foot inside.

Since I am a visual/ technical designer I am able to have a competitive advantage in the Vacational Rental area and I am pretty happy spending 3 days building quirky places/ experiences for people traveling and earning a good income from BUY/RENOVATE/RENTAIRBNB/REFINANCE.  

From my experience staging is helpful, makes it easier for buyers to visualize themselves living in the home.

If people need something to sweeten the deal, instead of just writing down "big screen TV", describe it, have them visualize it, even leave a picture of it for them to hold in their hand and think "wow, wouldn't it be nice if we had one of these?"

@Matt Holmer, our discussion got me thinking and I decided to tinker around in Google My Maps to see how I could visualize this data.

The Cuyahoga County auditor's website does show owners' address. http://myplace.cuyahogacounty.us/They just switched to a new system that is SO MUCH better than the old one, both in ease of use and visuals (bigger font, a big map right in the middle).

I just visualize what my company is going to be and I've always envisioned my business being it's own seperate entity with it's own books, etc.

The later I believe is attainable through real estate investing.I am a happily married father of 2, and I currently run the Audio Visual department for the Hyatt Valencia, soon that will include the Double Tree Bakersfield.
