i used them when i was just a real estate investor trying to showcase my properties and it worked, and now i use them as an agent to market myself and it works very well.

Covering the pictures with graphics is definitely the way to go!

I think the i-phone has better graphics ( if you like to watch videos, etc) and the music sound is clearer, but I dont use the phone for videos/music so that doesnt matter to me.

it seems to be kind of a mess really, i have seen some listings on craigs, under the business section, most on loopnet, some on showcase, but check your local mls to see if they have a commercial section.

If you leave a "brag book", that showcases your benefits, process etc. then you have to come back and speak with the seller.In general, you should do all your due diligence (comparables, estimated repair costs, numbers, etc. ) before presenting to the seller.

Fees are usually charged to the lender, so the borrower can often get the same pricing as if they had gone directly to the lender (and sometimes even cheaper pricing).We had a booth at the PNW Real Estate Wealth Expo to showcase the application (although I wasn't with the company at the time).

The graphic with the colors and brands gets the point across perfectly.

Without getting graphic, let's just say "shitter was full"..  

Use bigger pockets report tool (from the calculators) to showcase repair items and to back up your offer with reason.

It's still quite affordable for multifamily investors, the commute is easy, and the area has been appreciating over time, besides being very family-oriented.I'm a data-driven kind of broker, and I find this graphic from Bloomberg to be extremely helpful: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/property-prices...Also, make sure to always check NYC's crime map: https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/ You can also see crime rates on Trulia and will soon realize that many listings for sale are on "hot spots" on those maps, so be mindful of that.I would also strongly advise you to find a good broker in order to assist you in the transaction: it may give you a clear advantage over other investors as they will know how to put you in the best position when presenting an offer and may be also aware of off-market deals.
