There's also a "fake tv" available on the internet for about $30 that makes patterns of light, so it looks like a tv is on inside. 

The elevator video of Elisa Lam went viral and legions of amateur detectives used the internet to try to solve the mystery of what happened to her, a 21-year-old Canadian tourist on her first trip to Los Angeles.

In addition, I suspect there is a plethora of Real estate return calculators on the internet. 

I had the following 3 things happening at the same time:1) Furnace went out in one of my properties (almost $2650 to replace retail)2) Problem tenant was late on rent for 2 months3) My employee told me his internet stopped and it would take 72 hours to fix.

Based on my Internet searches I think he purchased it for around $175k.

I have a market that I've been concentrating my time to understand, and left our conversation promising to bring to him some of my research on the best 2 or 3 deals.

Respectfully I would tell you to concentrate on getting pre-approved with a lender as your first step.

So, I spend time on the internet just looking at properties "just because" and I'm embarrassed to admit how much I actually do that, haha.  

For example, you can deduct the cost of your internet bill and phone bill.

I believe that the best bang for your buck is to concentrate on the kitchen area, bathrooms and master bathroom.
