I got out of those and since I bought my rental properties, I may go back and buy REITs in different sectors such as public storage types of maybe healthcare again...but once you have physical real estate there's really no need for mREITs...I wouldn't think so anyway.

It is true that I should learn how to be good at my primary job first, then worry about physically working on real estate.

Physical damage is a separate.After vetting, I'd hire a roofing contractor or 2 to get up there and assess the damage. 

Has anyone changed the physical address of a house to another street?

For non-commercial residential, it should be the current market value using the most appropriate comps (recent, physically near, similar property type, avoid the outliers (the lowest and highest sales)). 

My job was in a mechanical field and relied heavily on manual labor and physical ability.

How do you narrow down the list of potential deals without physically seeing what needs to be fixed in each home?

Make sure you physically go out and look at properties.

Basically, we know there will be an influx in workers who will need housing, and the property we have identified is "the only game in town" in regards to proximity. 

Everyone who's responding that they would not physically post the notice on Dec 25th because they don't want to work that day is sorta missing the boat on this debate.
