Physically the pictures are ok but there is a little issue with what you took pictures of. 

Basic for would exclude much more than that and are often disguised (the agent's selling basic form hope you are more concerned about cost than coverage, and many RE investors fall into that trap).On a basic form you would lose Weight of Ice and Snow, Falling Objects, Water Damage (Think broken pipes), Collapse, Theft and Risk of any other direct physical loss not excluded on the special form policy. 

Hello@Jerron Horn CEO,I'm fairly new to the business as well, but from what i'm reading and learning is that you'll want to gather as much information about the owner, the financial and physical aspects of the property as you can. 

Standard contracts usually say seller is responsible for CO and if the city does do a physical inspection on re-sale, sees that it's a legal 2-family with an illegal 3rd basement apartment, then city may force seller to remove the 3rd unit.Shoot me a message on the grants you're talking about...are they for owner occupy or investors?

@Anthony Kondor Step one- look up property pin number by entering in physical address (click "property address search" on the left)http://cookcountyassessor.com/Property_Search/Prop...Step two- plug in pin number and search http://12.218.239.82/i2/default.aspx

I'm leaning toward the postcards, but the pens offer me a chance to physically hand the pen to a prospective client, attaching a face & personality to the name.By the numbers:I'm looking at 200 pens for roughly $70 vs maybe 2000 postcards for roughly $300+ postageAny input is appreciated!

@Karl Krentzel, I downloaded your pre-listing presentation packet, and have incorporated it into my own.  

I am still trying to figure out how to incorporate Podio and Evernote into my business to work with my Google Voice phone.

SFH, 2-4 unit - anything physically or deal-wise distressed or otherwise sold at a discount is perfect.

Since you can't be physically at more than one place at a time this significantly impacts your income and growth potential.You leverage people to increase your effectiveness and revenue streams.
