From that, I begin due diligence - reviewing the tax records, title records and a drive by and site "scouting" visit to see if it meets additional criteria.

I've been scouting out iGMS and Lodgify.Christian

I am planning a scouting trip in the next few weeks and would like to see some properties.

I like to use Neal Bawa's metrics while scouting for a market.

Get a coaching job (after work) HS. football, girls soccer, Boy Scouts, etc...4.

I have been doing a lot of property scouting and found a area that I believe would be great for capital growth.

Everybody has a story...wouldn't you prefer one about winning the lottery or having a really BIG STASH of Girl Scout Cookies?!!! 

I would consider doing a long weekend trip and scout out the areas and meet your team and feel confident before purchasing completely blind. 

Both kids are very involved in scouts. 

Hi Joe,If it were mine I'd replace the rocks with more pavers and hit the pavers with a defoliant to get rid of the weeds.Since you live there too, a nice BBQ might be tasty addition.And a lemon tree means free lemon-aid and lemon meringue pie, as well as tradable with the neighbors fruit, for oranges, avocados and olives (but you have to scout the area for who has those trees).Good Luck!
