I usually do a video walk through of the home and upload it to Youtube so they can see most of what I can see.  

I belong to a Mastermind group, we meet twice a year in person for 3 days at a resort away from distractions.We also have a weekly scheduled phone call with one mastermind partner.I would like to start a virtual mastermind group & have regular online video conferences & utilized some of latest cool apps & technology. smiletime.com is a pretty cool free site for this.

I'd love to get away with tile everywhere like you see in parts of the South and West.  

It's non stop education that you can't learn from YouTube videos and the mentors are actually there to help you (volunteers, not getting paid).

I'm having a problem now becaus I see a property in my market that I think would be a good deal but I don't have the funds to obtain and I don't want it to get away.

Also I will be purchasing these properties remotely (from my location) relying solely on pictures and videos.
