I'll be curious how much this is a deterrent or if simply rates will increase to counter it.

I believe I have read in one of the BP books that investing near a busy road is one of the key deterrents in an investment.I want to start acting, but I also do want to be logical and calculated.

I am very visual and I like information radiators that are always on the wall staring at me to track my goals. 

In my neighborhood people post Ring clips of package bandits all the time, these cameras are not a deterrent to the porch pirates, why would they be to burglars?

I tend to be the visual/social learner whereas he can zip through a book in 1-2 days. 

Overwhelmed but really enjoying all the resources from bigger pockets... just listened to a short-term arbitrage podcast so this is cool to be a bit vicarious and listen in/learn/visualize what bringing in some STR's looks like... 

@Eric Fernwood Thanks for all the great info/visuals and all laid out amazingly!

Some negative visualization can help you get back to focus. 

I know visual inspection is a bunch of clues.

Seller said they got multiple offers, and I must admit house has a good visual appeal, but it doesn't come close to the expense of repairs.
