I took some time to create a visual of your CA entity example.

So part of that dynamic- the turnkeys from the turnkey providers- might be why you hear a lot that people don't go see their properties before buying.

You'll have to make do with visually inspecting the roofs from the ground as you won't likely get the option to inspect the roof.  

The properties appear to be in fair condition from outside and inside visual observation but cosmetic work is needed in my opinion to maximize rents (more formal due diligence is required also).The owner acknowledged the house was up to date on taxes and mortgage payments.

A lot of investors like probate, but when you are dealing with grieving families and all the dynamics, I would expect that this is a list where you will have a much longer turn-around on decisions.Have you thought about other target audiences such as Low Financial Stability?

With a lot of open space, people have challenges in actually visualizing how the space works.

Like I said, I've been researching this for a while and I'm ready to make a move, and my move does not hinge on this exclusively of course, but I am very curious about this aspect of the rental property dynamic. 

When they looked with the camera, the line was still full of water and he couldn't get a good visual and suspected a collapsed/damaged pipe. 

It's a powerful tool for real estate investors; but also crucial to our economy as a whole.It’s something economists spend considerable resources tracking & attempting to adjust on federal and state government levels; but this dynamic is often better demonstrated on city/town levels simply because the results are more readily seen.Let's take for example a small town that needs a traffic light; but can only afford a stop sign.

I have a whole home inspection scheduled that will include visual mold, and radon inspections as well.
