My real estate background consists of visually building and designing my own homes just for fun...just kidding.

Most Home Stagers can visualize how the home is going to function, and appeal to the masses.

We're going to level out and grade the road but am debating using the millings to 1) make it more appealing visually and more importantly 2) provide better longevity. 

This week I want to continue my mini series on some of the benefits and critical things you need to know if you are deciding to implement the virtual investing model.The key to having consistent success in a visual market is having the right boots on the ground in that specific market.There are two different ways that that you can have successful boots on the ground.

I plan on driving out there to get a better visual of the property.

In many counties this will have good information like zoning, lot size, some info about the house, property tax records, type of heat source, etc.When I visit a property, I like to visually check out the neighborhood, I will inspect the house myself, collect any financial information they are willing to provide, I will also talk to neighbors about the house if I see any.

I know this is something that I desire for a living, because i constantly visualize myself doing so.

Very interested in financials, visually looks good.

I am a visual artist and arts educator and my husband is an architect.

Recently, I noticed more and more out of staters moving in, no official stats but on a visual micro level educated millennials are replacing the ones bailing LA in some locations.
