There are videos on youtube that can help you find hot markets in your area based on home sales within zip codes. 

I also agree, and sometimes people will try to sneak in a pet after they move in if they can get away with it.

I have a 24 unit property and I'd like to add video security to reduce damage caused by tenants and/or visitors to the property.

Strip off wall paper-nuetral paint.Master bath you maybe able to get away with a good cleaning and nice tile floors, master vanity looks okay- maybe more lighting in the bathroom- you could do something about bathroom cabinets- fresh coat of paint.Bathroom small- some caulking, new shower head blah blah- Remove all wall paper- paint nuetral, you may wanna change that soap holder too.

A commentor to the video said, that the effort the person put in to JUST birddoging was too much and that if they went through all that trouble, then they should go ahead and simply wholesale the property to the buyer.So my question is, since I am pulling comps, getting everything about the house except the architectural blue prints to the house, am I doing too much, and is what I am doing overkill for a lousy $500 - $1,000?

A nice video is available here:http://www.cedarparktexas.gov/index.aspx?

After reading and listening to some videos by jay Morrison it sounds like wholesaling can be a lucrative business, if not anything more a great hands on learning experience.

I'll attach a link to my youtube marketing video.

I gave up writing, guitar, time with friends and family, video games (laugh if you must), poker, vacations, pleasure reading, dating my future wife (we live together but date nights are far and few). 

I am a fan of https://www.youtube.com/user/MrAlanKendall/videos and this video is from three years ago.
