I'd use existing public records and GIS and other area graphics until you have an offer then you can split the cost or offer the survey as incentive.

Opinions on the graphic design?

Essentially I just graduated from Clemson University with a Graphic Communications/Marketing double major and instead of grabbing that comfy 30k-40k job over in Greenville/Charlotte/Atlanta like all my peers, I packed up my car, took a gamble and drove west.

Graphically is better... pretty flat for everything but 4 BR in this MSA, which includes Raleigh/Cary and now on the order of $1M people. 

(Dry cleaning, home repairs, fast food, graphic design, etc) Currencies trade against one another.

I am a graphic designer with a start up company that has been actually growing rapidly, therefor my money has been growing with it.  

You need to show them why invest in real estate compare to other businesses (some graphics will be awesome), and then you get into a little detail where you want to invest, why in that area, the comps with other areas, and then more detail on house prices and what profit you can get, what the ROI, growth, and what risk management that you will take, what exit strategy that you will implement (per project and for the whole business).

As you can see in the graphic above, a correlation of 0 means there is no linear relationship between the two variables (a change in variable A has no effect on variable B).

I'm also a graphic designer.

there are so many ways to analyze deals on internet and I found a way to analyze 8 deals in 2 min with ROI, Cap rate, DSCR, F&F strategy and B&H Strategy, with graphics so you can prepare your investor package....
