You're seeing the damage that is visual, but without destructive testing you'll never know what the extent of the damage is inside the walls. 

It's SOOOO visually appealing! 

Running scenarios helps me visualize how all this can work, so thank you for taking the time to put that together.Bringing a note investor to the table at the start seems like excellent advice.

They also tend to keep pictures there longer (but you can't download them) so there's a visual reminder about the condition.

They also have the book combined with a video course if you'r more of a visual learner.  

It's the hidden stuff that we can't visually see which might cost us more money than we want to spend.

ExteriorThe walkways were cracked and should be monitored for action.Sections of the aluminum siding and trim were damaged and should be replaced.There was weathered wood trim throughout that should be replaced as necessary.We recommend installing window well covers over all window wells.The left-side gate was damaged and should be repaired or replaced.Some of the hose spigots were inoperable and this should be corrected.There was some minor cracking throughout each driveway that should be repaired as necessary.There was storage in the 1070 garage that obscured some areas from visual inspection.The Genie overhead garage door opener was not working properly and should be serviced or replaced.The garage door opener was plugged into an extension cord and a dedicated outlet should be installed.We recommend installing downspout extensions to divert drainage away from the foundation of the home.Each overhead garage door was damaged and should be monitored and repaired or replaced as necessary.The patio screen door was badly torn and damaged by the dog and should be replaced.The left side storm door was missing and should be replaced as necessary.

It is free and is visually appealing.

As an OOS investor myself I have been to MKE plenty of times but I would not trust my memory to a a visual look around to judge a neighborhood.  

Please, help convince me to stick with it..Below is a photo that should help visualize the situation.
