My wife took the photos of the property without the use of a wide angled lens (Very much needed) therefore we may need to just have the Agent return to get the full front view of the home's offerings. 

No need for far away wide lens shots, straight on shots always work for me!

Friends,What criteria you applied to pick an investment property and how you evaluate and check facts?  I am new out of state investor and looking for advice and tips.Thanks

Particularly looking through the lens of buy and hold.

But in actuality these problems are far more 'bureaucratically challenged' and costly than one can really stand to tolerate, especially through the lens of an investment property and not just building your dream beachfront shack.  

@Kim Coleman @Stanley ParsleyLast year, we had a sewer back up at one of my properties.It was an emergency, we called Len-the-plumber, they investigated, and said that pipes outside of the house to the city line need to be replaced. 

I used field lens for awhile.

If you analyze 50 houses a day for a month through the lens of your criteria you're going to learn more about your market and how to start finding those diamonds in the rough than you'll imagine.Good luck!

@Len Leggette  I am still in search of a reliable realtor who understands my objectives.
