Here's the Federal Funds Rate over the past 60 years: If you don't like that, here's a great visual of interest rates over the last 600 years. 

A visual representation of my 'why'.

As a User Experience Designer, my job is to make websites, apps, and products simple, visually appealing, and user-friendly.My goal is to buy my first rental property (duplex, triplex, or 4-plex) by August 2018.

I'm a bit more visual and personally appreciate a more minimalistic approach to presenting data and information.

Don't worry about the price you bought it for.I would suggest doing a little staging so people can visualize themselves in the house. 

The BP podcasts definitely helped me to visualize the kind of scenario that unfolded.

There are basically only 2 methods to buy real estate at bargain prices:Method #1Situations where you are the only potential buyer who knows about the deal (no competition), and the seller is willing to accept your offer and terms without seeking outside bids (offers) from anyone else.Method #2Where the public knows about a property that’s available but cannot visualize its potential value – like after it’s all fixed up.

I am waiting on my wegolook visual assessment of the property to make sure it is still standing/occupied etc.

You can also use national tax lien association website resource section to look up the tax lien state map as that is visual as well. 

This is a great website to build a visual timeline... you can add pictures and future dates to meet your current plan.
