To have deep knowledge of market I use fundamental and technical analysis to know what markets needs, which type of properties are the best and who is my best customers for my properties.I work with wealthy American and European investors their having better investment return in my projects compered to another investments tools like CDs, hedge funds, IRAs etc.I am always looking for Best Markets, Profitable Deals and New Partners.And I like to share with you how I analyze all US markets in few minutes.Nice to meet you :)

When we get all that in and I get new pictures taken, I plan to start advertising it.  

Coastal wood floors (was custom wood floors but i mostly do normal refinishing and its actually what i like to do) but i do all kinds of floors (for rental units you cant beat coretec) Almost all of my contacts are concentrated on the OBX and they might venture up into currituck but getting them up more towards the metro areas would be harder. also capable of most interior work like trim, cabinets, painting. dont really venture outside of that much unless im DIY

A few pictures of the chimeny would help, but I can give you some general options.

The business plan helps you paint a clear picture of what you want to achieve, and communicates this to the people on your team so they know too!

And they have absolutely horrible customer service!  

., for their customers using a unified (normalized) data schema, unlike each regional MLS.

Any investors wanting info or pictures of where to go and stay away from, I'll be happy to help.

some of the books you mention are great but are big picture idea books, and you may be thinking ...how do I select a place, inspect, buy and rent it (advertise, screen and select tenants, maintain it, etc).

If I am looking for a higher priced item, I play Lowes against Menards with the price matching discounts.I use Menards for paint, electric, plumbing, kitchen cabinets (I custom order) and misc hardware items.
