After I got married, we didn't have enough money to hire people to fix things, so I read books, watched YouTube videos, and got advice on how to fix stuff. 

We video the property right before a tenant moves in.

I am closing on my first property tomorrow and I am not 100% confident.i been watching a lot of videos and was going to attend a class but it was cancelled.It is a tiplex in new haven ct I would be living in the first floor.Should I find a real estate lawyer to consult with and get leased done..People give me ideas please.affordable ones thanks

We've been having the owner or the tenants send us pictures and videos and so far it's worked fine.

The challenge is getting inside occupied properties, we're asking for pictures and videos and then making our offer.  

The video you linked goes out to my residential client base - for investors this one from last year is probably more interesting. 

Ann Crosby, well, it's really pretty simple to start, and yes - there are plenty videos with teaching courses "how to start".

What can I see in person the listings and video walk thru can't show me. 

I am looking tolearn as much as I can as I am constantly watching YouTube videos,listening to podcast, and always reading!

@Matt Bailey Here is a helpful YouTube video that I found that talked about estimating repair costs via the square foot.
