Hi Everyone,I am new to the game, but have been studying up on everything real estate for a few months now. 

My typical path through a property is going around outside, then down into the basement, and then up through the house slowly with extra time spent in the kitchens and bathrooms.An agent or wholesaler intent on selling you the property, however, will often have a pre-planned route through it that points out its strongest features first, and only then proceed to the weaker features and major problems.You acquire the kind of reading skills you're talking about, and to a great degree, only over time and with experience.

Im curious on others views in the MF rental game.

Just understand when sending leads it may take a while to close or not even close so it comes down to numbers game.
