This is what I did here on this deal-I created a better market for an unusual deal on a busy street located in a hot market.  

Check out the tax assessors site for the county and know if the parcel is a street or power line right of way or drainage ditch.  

Investors are buying everything around me and they're breaking ground on a major development of a 32 acre parcel across the street from y 1st community. 

I do know the area well I've lived here my whole life, but it's a city so I don't know where every street or building is.

@David DyeIf I were you I would make trip out to visit those houses and the areas in person... they are typically not the greatest of zip codes definitely C or D properties but it depends on the street and PM if you will succeed in these tougher areas.

Word on the street is that most major brokerage firms are moving in that direction because of Errors and Omission Insurance.  

I was considering street signs and craigslists ads as we.

I have seen here in Lakeland times were the streets are flooded with FSBO signs, Foreclosures, short sales.

Our building is on the Main Street and we are replacing the facade windows with casements.

Right across the street from my house.
