If it helps a few of you out, I can evaluate Alabama properties (a cursory, visual inspection of the property with digital photos) for a SMALL fee.

I know, bad for me and good for company in terms of tax treatment.

Here are my calculationsCostsTiny Home$ 55,000.00 Hookup Fees (City)$ 10,000.00 Hookup Costs (Contractor)$5,000.00 Landscaping$4,000.00 Initial Home Treatments$2,000.00 Total$ 76,000.00 AirBnB CalculationEstimated Income (per AirBnB Site)$ 2,100.00 Nights$20.00 Cost per Night$ 105.00 $ 2,100.00 Monthly ExpensesAirBnB Fee @ 3%$63.00 Management Fee @10%$ 210.00 W/S/G$95.00 Loan Payment$ 544.00 Landscape$ 100.00 Misc.

You are hitting it on the head - it is DIFFICULT to visualize this stuff.

Visually, looks great!

Many of the neighborhoods still have the visual appeal and are nice communities to live in. 

We own a commercial office building in New Mexico, and may be leasing it out to an outpatient drug treatment facility.

This will help those in an "bad" area get a better appraisal for their homes because they took better care of them than their neighbors who maintained the visual things, but not the problem areas.The same thing can be said in reverse for the "better" areas as they often seem to be oblivious to "unseen" problems.

Did you know that by letting a listing agent become an intermediary (work both sides) you give up the right to their experienced advice because they are working both sides and cannot give preferential treatment to one side, they basically become a communicator (in TX). 

I would add to those questions the following:Do you have any reports such as highest and best use, environmental, etc.Are there any known pertinent factors such as close to a dump, sewer treatment plant, airport flight path, train tracks, etc.Make sure you check with the fire department to see if the parcel has fire hydrants close enough, if not, do you need to add and how many and does the current line support the addition of more hydrants.
