All infrastructure components had to be ripped out due to needing to comply with code.

What area codes do you invest in?

Since our job requires us to sit behind a computer all day, he just brings his laptop to works on his real estate endeavors.

I'm going to try this one last time.The definition of "advertising" is found in the AZ Code.

However I was looking for someone who would do more than just a visual inspection of the outside of the property - I was looking for someone to go inside (I can provide a one-time door code) and do detailed photos of  potential problem areas etc. 

Not sure but I assume this construction is to code.

I would take generalized zip code information with a grain of salt as many of these areas are seeing rapid change, especially in 64109, 64110, 64131, 64123, 64124, parts of 64127, and 64130. 

I simply take a target zip code/street in my investment area and begin to use google maps to walk up the street using my mouse to zoom in on any property that may look distressed.

Then i'd mow the grass so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb as a beacon to code enforcers or vagrants or squatters.

The same requirement for accuracy is added in the Property Code.
