I also like pinson and clay chalkville out your way.

Other tools/techniques to help with visualization: floorplan diagrama bound notebook or tablet for sketching ideasPinterest, IG, and similarSocial sites and forums - specifically where you show different pictures/sketches and ask for feedbackFind someone who is good at visualization and take them with you to visit a propertyPractice visualizing homes you're not interested in.For color palette decisions, it depends on what you're going for...but, any home design site/magazines can show you what's popular...or <sigh> just watch HGTVMake friends with a local realtor in an area you're buying into and ask them what buyers & tenants want and don't want.That should be enough to get you going.

@Clay Collins

We did not only have to break and dispose the concrete (6" instead of the usual 3" of course) but then also discovered that there was no gravel under the slab, just wet clay - so we had to haul out a truckload of wet clay and bring in a truckload of stone.It's not difficult, but it's hard. 

Reason: Ceramic is glazed over red clay.

You can rent those, too.If you have old clay pipe, or cast iron that's separated, this will be an ongoing problem.

I have a few specific 'how to' books I've read that I like:Flip by Clay Davis/Gary KellerMillionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary KellerSome of the rich dad stuff is OK, not really nuts and bolts how to stuff however.For a lot less money than that school, we can get you moving forward:1. join local REIA, network network network2. actively read and participate here as much as possible3. read everything you can get your hands on4. find an investor or realtor who will let you do some work for them for free or little money to learn the ropes5. take action steps every day, read, talk, network, do
