I'd like to contact the homeowner directly via mail (no phone) 60-90 days after we bought their home to see what they thought via a short survey- but for many we don't have "moved to" addresses.

Variations in income for any group of half a dozen randomly selected people are almost certainly larger than the $8,600 difference implied by this data.Further, the income impact from college for US males is the greatest of any of the other data points in this survey.

I want to pose a kind of survey to the people of Bigger Pockets who invest in Cleveland.

Once you have made personal (in person) contacts and have surveyed the neighborhoods yourself, then you can do the agent/video.  

(Tenants are the beginning of your income - not the only clients your multifamily property can serve)My recommendations are to:1 - survey your existing tenants.

It will probably be worth having a survey done, which is not cheap, to identify what ACM's (asbestos containing material) are present.

I do the inspection mostly as a peace of mind.Appraisal, survey etc...those are typically buyer's costs anyways and in an all cash offer it's not required it's the buyer's options.Last week I just had another deal, this time a REO home, asking $175,000.

Sometimes I call around for clients and one time we saved 1,000 on a survey just by dialing for dollars.

But ILCs (Improvement Location Certificates, sort of a mini-survey) are commonly requested.

Do you have any idea of what a survey shows, what to do with a flood plain, are you familar with what a Realtor can do legally and when or how to contract with them in different agecy relationships?
