If you have a decent smart phone camera and good lighting, that should do the trick.

Especially I am looking for repair service for major appliances such as AC, dishwasher, washer/dryer etc (but I also open to learn about company for small services such as plumbing, fixing light bulbs etc).

BUT my realtor after now having worked with NACA for 3 years HAS sold houses with them, and is a way better realtor than when we started, so that plus the no more area maxes, there's a small light in the distance..

Jon, how many tickets do you have now, those kids at the light ever get to you?

We did not meet reserve (which we presumed we would not).  2 hrs later we were sent an email offering us an approved seller purchase price of $237,000 (+4.5% buyers premium & $299 tech fee) - they gave us 24 hrs to make decision.At this point we immediately ordered a 'desktop appraisal' - which gave us a value to the house (as is condition - which included the interior removed by angry homeowners - kitchen, baths, all lighting, etc - it was gutted - but not damaged in the process) - the appraisal came in at $300,000. 

Criminal matter I dont take lightly and wil not discuss with police until my attorney is consulted first.

If the manager can't keep the lights on, the assets and investments will suffer.Some fund structures allow for debt and some do not.

Then go to as many REO properties as you can and practice your skill set.Here is some more info that should help you: Break up the home into sections - Kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, stucco, landscaping, plumbing (including fixtures), electrical (including fixtures), HVAC, interior doors, door casings/baseboards, windows/sliders/front door, roof, foundation, misc., and garage.Once you know what the common costs are for each area for a specific size home, you can see how easy it will become to walk in and walk out 15 minutes later with a rehab figure in your head.

I appreciate your details.Your obviously light years ahead of me and you mention looking for and finding deals as the most time consuming activity.

Can you shed a little light on that one?
